When splitting is the right move
Some PDFs are too long to be useful as one file. A 200-page lease that needs to be sent in 20-page chunks to fit attachment limits. A scanned book where you only need chapter three. A combined invoice export that needs to be split per client. Each case calls for a fast, accurate split.
Online tools handle this, with the usual privacy trade-offs. A native split is faster, doesn't upload your file, and lets you preview thumbnails before extracting. The output is a set of clean, separate PDFs you can name and share as needed.
Split however the document is structured
Page-by-page split
Break a PDF into one file per page. Useful for archiving individual receipts.
Range split
Define ranges (pages 1-5, 6-10, 11-end) and get a separate PDF per range.
Split by bookmarks
If the PDF has bookmarks, the app can split at each top-level bookmark.
Preview before splitting
See thumbnails of every page so you know exactly what's going into each output file.

Frequently asked questions

- Yes, once you unlock it. The split outputs can either inherit the password or be saved unprotected — your choice.
- Use the range split with a single-page range, or use the Extract Page tool from the editing view for a one-tap export.
