Why Split PDF Files?
Large PDF files can be unwieldy to share and difficult to navigate. Often, you only need a specific section—like a single invoice from a billing statement or one chapter from a textbook.
Splitting PDFs allows you to break down these large documents into smaller, more manageable files. It's essential for organizing digital records, sharing only relevant information with clients, and reducing file sizes for email attachments.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I extract just one page?
Select "Extract Pages" mode and simply type the page number (e.g., "5") into the page range box.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?

Is it free to split large files?
Yes! There are no hidden costs or size limits. You can split as many files as you need for free.
Can I merge the pages back together later?
