Example
Example: three monthly statements out of a 12-page year, for a rental application
The bank sends the whole of 2026 as statement-2026.pdf, one page a month. The rental application asks for the last three months, each as its own file. Split by Page ranges; typed in Ranges: 10, 11, 12.
- Each comma-separated group becomes its own PDF, so 10, 11, 12 gives three one-page files.
- Each file is named after the original with its pages: statement-2026-10.pdf, statement-2026-11.pdf and statement-2026-12.pdf.
- Pages you do not list are left out, and the original file is not changed.
| Typed or chosen | You get |
|---|---|
| 10, 11, 12 | statement-2026-10.pdf, -11.pdf and -12.pdf, one page each |
| 10-12 | statement-2026-10-12.pdf, the three months in one file |
| Ranges left empty | 12 files, statement-2026-1.pdf to statement-2026-12.pdf |
| Every N pages: 2, on a 30-page stack of two-page forms | 15 files, forms-1-2.pdf to forms-29-30.pdf |
Three small PDFs ready to attach, named so the agent can tell the months apart. Only the pages you listed leave the original, so the other nine months stay with you.
How it works
- Drop a PDF onto the box or choose it from your device.
- Pick Page ranges and type them like 1-3, 5, 8-10. Each comma-separated group becomes its own PDF. Leave the field empty to get one file per page.
- Or pick Every N pages to cut the document into equal chunks.
- Or pick Size limit and type the most MB a part may weigh: 17 for Gmail, 13 for Outlook. Each page is measured, the pages are packed in order, and every part is checked against the limit.
- Press Split PDF and download the files. Each output is named after the original with the page numbers appended.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the split happen on a server?
- No. Pages are copied into new documents by your browser. The file never leaves your device.
- How do I extract just one page?
- Type that page number in the ranges field, for example 7, and press Split PDF. You get a single one-page PDF.
- How are the new files named?
- After the original, with the pages each one holds: report-7.pdf for page 7, report-8-10.pdf for pages 8 to 10, and report-2-3_5.pdf for pages 2, 3 and 5 typed as one range with a gap (2-3 5). Every N pages gives report-1-2.pdf, report-3-4.pdf and so on, so the files sort in page order. Scanned and text PDFs split the same way.
- What happens to pages I do not list?
- They are left out. Only the pages you list are exported, in the order they appear in the original.
- How do I get parts small enough to email?
- Choose Size limit and give the number of MB. Gmail refuses mail over 25 MB and Outlook over 20 MB, and they count the mail as it is sent: email encoding makes an attachment about a third bigger. So type 17 for Gmail and 13 for Outlook; a 25 MB part would go out at about 36 MB. If the document is mostly scans, compressing it first often means no splitting at all.
- Why is one part bigger than the limit I set?
- Because a page cannot be cut in half. A single page carrying a large scan or photo can weigh more than the whole limit on its own, and it comes back as its own part rather than as an error. Run it through Compress PDF first and the split will then fit.
- Is there a page limit?
- No page limit. The free plan limits file size to 20 MB and runs to 5 per day; Pro removes both.
