Two ways to split
- One PDF per page — every page becomes its own file, downloaded together as a ZIP.
- Custom ranges — type ranges like 1-3, 5, 8-10. Each range becomes its own PDF, so 1-3 gives you one three-page file.
We tested it: splitting two PDFs
Results from splitting our test files:
| Split | Result |
|---|---|
| 8-page scan, one file per page | 8 PDFs, 9.49 MB in total (about 1.2 MB each), 0.1 s |
| 8-page scan, ranges “1-2, 5” | 2 PDFs, 3.53 MB in total |
| 9-page photo report, one file per page | 9 PDFs: text-only pages about 18.9 KB, photo pages 344 KB–942 KB |
Each page keeps exactly its own content: text stays selectable and images aren't re-compressed. Each file contains only the images on its own pages, so a text page from the photo report is just 19 KB.
If a single page is still over a portal's limit, compress that page with Compress PDF to 500 KB or 200 KB.
When splitting helps
- A portal wants each certificate uploaded separately.
- You only need to send one section of a long report.
- A file is too big to upload in one go and the site allows several parts.
Range tips
Leave the end of a range open to go to the last page — 5- means page 5 to the end. The tool tells you the page count as soon as you add the file, and warns you if a range doesn't exist.
Frequently asked questions
Will text still be selectable?
Yes. Pages are copied directly, not turned into images.
Can I extract a single page?
Yes — choose Custom ranges and type the page number, for example 4.
Is my document uploaded?
No. Splitting happens in your browser.
