How to split a PDF online
1. Upload your PDF
Drag and drop a PDF file onto the area above. Files up to 1MB are supported on the free plan.
2. Extract or split
Extract specific pages into a single PDF, or split the document into multiple parts. Click pages to select exactly what you need.
3. Download
Get a single PDF with your selected pages, or a zip file with multiple parts. No waiting, no email, no account required.
Pull out just the pages you need
Often you only need part of a PDF: a single chapter from a report, one form from a bundle, or a few pages from a long scan. Sending the whole file means sharing more than you should.
PainlessPDF lets you select exactly the pages you want and download them as a new document, leaving the original untouched.
Split one document into several
Beyond extracting pages, you can break a large PDF into multiple smaller files - handy for splitting a combined scan back into individual records or separating a packet into per-recipient documents.
Free, in your browser, no software
There is nothing to install and no Acrobat licence required. Splitting PDFs works in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chromebook, with no account and no watermark.
