How would you like to split?
Choose a method and set your options.
Each comma-separated page or range becomes a separate PDF. Use physical page positions starting at 1. Overlapping ranges include those pages again.
Keep the original order. The last PDF contains any remaining pages.
Create one PDF for each page, in the original order.
1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes. Whole pages are grouped in order using actual output sizes. A single page over your target is kept and flagged. This mode takes more work than splitting by count.

Frequently asked questions
How do page ranges work?
For example, 4, 1-2, 4 makes three PDFs: page 4, pages 1–2, and another copy of page 4. Use ascending ranges and commas between outputs. Printed page labels may differ from physical page positions.
Will the files be smaller?
Splitting is not compression. Shared fonts, images and PDF overhead can make the total output larger. File-size mode adds pages in order until the next page would exceed your target, then starts another file. It measures serialized PDFs; it does not promise the fewest possible files. An indivisible page above the target is flagged in the results.
What stays, and what changes?
Page content, dimensions, crop boxes and rotation are copied. Text stays text and scans stay images; no OCR runs. Ordinary forms are flattened using their appearances and stop being editable. Comments retain appearance data but are not flattened. Document bookmarks, internal navigation destinations, attachments, document metadata, accessibility tags and document-wide settings are not retained. Signatures lose validity. Layer visibility and print color profiles may change. Web links remain usable. Unused shared page resources are removed when their content can be decoded; splitting is not secure redaction, and hidden content may remain. Check the downloaded PDFs before sharing them.
What if a PDF or ZIP cannot be created?
Save password-protected PDFs as unprotected copies first. Damaged files or unsupported forms may need a fresh or flattened export from your viewer; XFA-only forms cannot be rendered here. Large or complex documents can exhaust browser memory. There is no imposed processing deadline; you can cancel. ZIP uses the classic format with fewer than 65,535 entries and less than 4 GiB total; if those bounds are exceeded, individual PDFs remain available.
