    How to split a PDF into separate files

    Splitting a PDF lets you extract the pages you actually need — a single form from a packet, or each section as its own file. CorePDFTools splits documents entirely in your browser, keeping your file private.

    1. Upload your PDF. Drop your PDF into the box above or browse to it.
    2. Choose how to split. Extract a specific page range (for example pages 2–5), or split the document into single-page files.
    3. Download the result. Download your extracted pages — as a single PDF for a range, or a ZIP of individual pages.

    When to split instead of compress

    Splitting is often the better answer to an upload size limit: rather than compressing an entire document, you can extract and upload only the page that's required. It's also the fastest way to share one chapter of a large scanned book or separate a signed page from a contract.

    Common uses

    Submitting one page to a portal

    Extract just the page a form requires instead of uploading the whole document.

    Separating chapters from a large scan

    Break a scanned book or manual into individual sections that are easier to share.

    Removing confidential pages before sharing

    Keep only the pages you want others to see by extracting them into a new file.

    Tips for best results

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I split a PDF without uploading it?

    Yes — splitting runs entirely in your browser, so your document stays on your device.

    How do I extract just a few pages?

    Enter a page range like 2–5, or list specific pages. The tool builds a new PDF with exactly those pages.

    Will splitting change the quality of my pages?

    No. Pages are copied exactly into the new file with no quality loss.

    Can I split a PDF on my phone?

    Yes — it runs in your mobile browser with no app needed.

    What's the difference between split and extract?

    Extracting pulls selected pages into one new file; splitting can break the whole document into many files. Both are page-selection tasks.
