How to Split a PDF Into Individual Pages or Sections
When you need to split a PDF
Three common reasons: extract a few specific pages, split into individual pages, or divide into sections.
How to split
1. Open the Split PDF tool. 2. Upload your PDF. 3. Choose your method: page range, specific pages, or split every page. 4. Download the result.
Extracting specific pages
To extract pages 5 to 8: select page range and enter 5-8. For non-consecutive pages like 2, 7, and 12: select specific pages and enter 2, 7, 12.
Splitting every page

Re-merging after splitting
