About the Split PDF Tool

Split PDF online lets you divide a PDF file into multiple smaller files by page range or every N pages. Useful when you need to split a book into chapters, separate appendices, or break down large documents for email.

✂️

2 Flexible Split Modes

"By page range" for precise splitting (e.g., 1-30, 31-65). "Every N pages" for even splitting (e.g., every 2 pages).

📦

Clean ZIP Output

All split files are packaged in a ZIP with clear filenames for easy management.

🎯

Flexible Page Input

Rich syntax support: "1-3,5,7-9" or simply enter N to split evenly.

💯

100% Content Preserved

Each split file retains original fonts, images, links, and bookmarks. No data loss.

BetaPDF splits PDFs at the object level — no page re-rendering, ensuring fast speed and 100% original content preservation. Each split part is a complete, independent PDF file.
