Split PDF

Split one PDF into several files – by page ranges, into equal parts or page by page. Everything runs right in your browser.

File stays on your device Several parts as a ZIP

Split PDF

Split a PDF by page ranges, every N pages or into single pages.

Your files are processed directly in your browser and are not uploaded. They never leave your device.

How it works

Split a PDF in three steps

  1. Add a PDF

    Drop a PDF file into the box or choose it. Open protected files with their password.

  2. Choose how to split

    Enter page ranges such as 1-3, 4, 7-9, split every N pages or turn every page into its own file.

  3. Split and save

    Click “Split PDF”. One part is saved as a PDF, several parts as a ZIP file.

How to enter page ranges

Each range becomes its own PDF file. Separate several ranges with commas; a hyphen means “to”. With “Put all ranges into one file” you get a single PDF with exactly these pages instead, in the order you entered them.

  • 1-3 – pages 1 to 3
  • 4 – page 4 only
  • 7- – from page 7 to the end
  • -3 – from the start to page 3

Typical uses

  • Split a batch scan into individual receipts
  • Send the appendices of a contract as separate files
  • Share a long manual chapter by chapter
  • Pull out single pages for accounting

Good to know

Pages, images and text are taken over unchanged; nothing is recalculated or compressed. Links to pages that are not part of a file are removed, so no content of other pages stays hidden inside it.

Bookmarks of the original file are not carried over. Fill in forms before splitting, because form fields may not be editable in every program afterwards.

The Split Agent separates batch scans for you

The Split Agent in the AI-DMS detects in batch scans where one document ends and the next begins – no separator sheets or barcodes needed. Every document is named and filed: manually, in batch, in a workflow or automatically in the workspace.

  • Detects document boundaries even without separator sheets and with changing layouts
  • Removes separator and blank pages; attachments stay with their main document
  • Names every part, and from Premium adds document type, date and sender
  • Via REST API and as an MCP tool in Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor

FAQ

Questions about splitting PDFs

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. Splitting runs entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.

How do I enter page ranges?

Separate ranges with commas, for example 1-3, 4, 7-9. Each range becomes its own file. “5-” means page 5 to the end, “-3” means the start up to page 3.

Can I save several ranges in one file?

Yes. Choose “Put all ranges into one file”. You then get one PDF with exactly these pages, in the order you entered them.

How large can the PDF be?

Up to 100 MB, split into at most 1,000 files per run. With very large files, the speed also depends on your device's memory.

Does it work with password-protected PDFs?

Yes, if you know the password. Enter it right in the file list. The parts are no longer protected afterwards.
