Practical examples
Ways to use Split PDF
Save one chapter
Enter 4-9 to create one PDF containing pages 4 through 9 of the source document.
Separate several sections
Enter 1-3, 4-8, 9-12 to create three PDFs. They download together in one ZIP file.
Before you start
- Page numbers refer to positions in the PDF, starting at 1. Ranges must stay within the document and cannot overlap.
- Choose one PDF up to 100 MB. This tool makes a separate output for each comma-separated group; it does not combine those groups into one PDF.

FAQ
Common questions
Which page range format can I use?
You can combine single pages and ranges, for example 1-3, 5, 8-10.
Does splitting change the original file?
No. The original PDF remains unchanged on your device.
Will multiple ranges become one PDF or several?
Each comma-separated page or range becomes a separate PDF. One range downloads as a PDF; multiple ranges download together as a ZIP.
