Split PDF Files Online — Complete Guide
PdfPeaks lets you divide a PDF into smaller files or extract specific pages without installing desktop software. Whether you need one chapter from a manual, a single signed page from a contract, or separate invoices from a batch scan, our split tool preserves original page quality and layout.
How It Works
Splitting takes three steps. Upload your PDF and preview page thumbnails in the browser. Select the pages you want to extract — individually, in ranges, or as a full split into separate files depending on the options shown. Click split and download the new PDF when processing completes. Most jobs finish in seconds for documents under 100 MB.
- Step 1 — Upload: Add a standard PDF file. Encrypted files may need to be unlocked first.
- Step 2 — Select pages: Choose pages in the preview grid or specify ranges such as 1–5 and 10–15.
- Step 3 — Download: Save the extracted PDF and reuse the tool for additional splits if needed.
Security & Privacy
We treat uploaded files as sensitive data. When you use the PDF split tool on PdfPeaks, files are transferred over encrypted HTTPS/TLS connections and processed on secure servers in isolated temporary storage. They are used only to perform the operation you requested. Uploaded files and outputs are not permanently stored, are not used to train machine-learning models, and are never sold or shared with third parties for marketing. Temporary files are automatically removed after processing. For full details, see our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
Common Use Cases
Professionals, students, and everyday users rely on this tool for tasks such as:
- Legal documents: Extract signed pages or exhibits without sharing the full file.
- Education: Pull one assignment or reading from a combined course packet.
- Business: Separate multi-invoice PDFs into individual attachments for accounting.
- Archiving: Remove blank or duplicate pages before long-term storage.
- Email limits: Split oversized PDFs so each part fits attachment size limits.
Tips for Best Results
Use clear, unencrypted PDFs when possible. If you need to combine results later, use our Merge PDF tool. To shrink output size, try Compress PDF. Supported format: PDF (.pdf).
