Split PDF Online Free – Separate Pages & Extract Files
Divide Large Documents or Extract Specific Pages Instantly
PDF files are often too large or contain mixed content. You might need just one invoice from a 50-page report, or you might need to break a large ebook into separate chapters. Splitting PDF allows you to cut a document into smaller, manageable files.
Use the ClonyPDF Split Tool to extract selected pages (e.g., 2, 5, 10) or split by range (e.g., 1-10, 11-20). No signup required.
3 Ways to Split a PDF (Which One Do You Need?)
Most users don't realize there are different "Modes" of splitting. Choose the one that fits your goal:
| Mode | What It Does | Best For... |
|---|---|---|
| Extract Pages | Select specific pages (e.g., Pg 5 and Pg 9) to create a new PDF containing only those. | Pulling specific receipts or invoices from a bulk file. |
| Split by Range | Cuts the file into sections (e.g., "Pages 1-50" becomes File A, "51-100" becomes File B). | Splitting a book into chapters or reducing email attachment size. |
| Burst (Separate All) | Turns every single page into its own PDF file (e.g., a 10-page PDF becomes 10 files). | Bulk scanning where each page is a different document. |
Common Use Cases
- Email Size Limits: If your PDF is 30MB but email only allows 25MB, split it into two halves (Part 1 & Part 2) to send it easily.
- Confidentiality: Remove sensitive pages by extracting only the "Public" pages you want to share.
- Assignments: Teachers can extract just the worksheet pages from a larger workbook for students.

Split PDF NowFrequently Asked Questions
How do I extract just one page from a PDF?
Upload your file, click on the specific page thumbnail you want, and click "Split". The result will be a single-page PDF.
Can I split a PDF into multiple files at once?
Yes. If you choose "Split by Range" (e.g., 1-5, 6-10), you will download a ZIP file containing multiple PDFs.
Will the quality of my PDF decrease?
No. Splitting is a lossless process. We simply cut the digital binding; the text and images on the pages remain 100% original quality.
