Split PDF breaks one file apart by fixed page ranges, every N pages, or at existing bookmarks — useful for separating a batch-scanned stack of documents or breaking a scanned book into chapters.
Open the PDF you want to break apart. Long scans, e-books and batch-scanned stacks all work. You'll see a thumbnail of every page.
Pick how to split. Type ranges like 1-5, 10-15, split every N pages, split into single pages, or split at bookmarks.
Check the split points. Thumbnails show where each new file starts and ends, so nothing lands in the wrong file.
Download the parts. Get each part as its own PDF, or all of them together in one ZIP file.
