About split PDF pages

Create one or more new PDFs from pages or ranges in a source document. Split a monthly packet into statements, pull each invoice from a scan, or divide a report into chapters for separate recipients.

Ranges are read in document order and clamped to the real page count, so asking for 7-10 in a nine-page file gives you 7 to 9 rather than an error. Each result is a separate download, which matters more than it sounds: splitting a 200-page document one page at a time produces 200 files, and most browsers will either throttle that or ask you to confirm bulk downloading. Like every page-copying operation here, split rebuilds the document from its pages, so bookmarks and form fields do not carry across into the pieces.

How PDFolio helps you split PDF pages

Choose one PDF with selected pages to keep a selection together, one PDF for each range to make several grouped documents, or one PDF per page when every page needs to stand alone. Enter ranges in document order, such as 1-3, 5, 7-10, when visual selection is less convenient.

Split is the right tool when you want several files out of one. When you want a single new PDF containing a selection of pages, Extract Pages says that in one step and gives you one download instead of a set you then have to recombine. If the goal is to remove a few pages rather than to divide the document, Delete Pages is more direct and leaves the rest of the file in one piece.

Before you download

Review the page count and result names before closing the tab, especially when a long PDF produces many downloads. Use Extract pages instead when you only need one new PDF containing a specific selection.

When the result is ready, download it immediately and open it in your usual PDF viewer to make a final check. You can then use Clear task data to release temporary file references from this browser tab. PDFolio does not create an account, cloud folder, or server-side document history.

A private way to split PDF pages

PDFolio handles the selected files in the active browser tab. A Web Worker on your device performs the PDF task so the interface can remain responsive; document bytes are not sent to a PDF processing server, upload queue, account database, or advertising platform.

Steps

  1. Add a PDF and review its page preview.
  2. Select pages, enter ranges, or choose one file per page.
  3. Process and download each result.

Good to know: Use ranges such as 1-3, 5, 7-10. Select all pages when you want one file per page.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Split and Extract?

Split can create several results. Extract creates one PDF containing the selected pages.

Can I split every page into a separate PDF?

Yes. Choose One PDF per page after adding your document.

Can I split a PDF by ranges?

Yes. Enter ranges such as 1-3, 4-6, 7-10 to create a separate PDF for each group.

Does split PDF pages change my original file?

No. PDFolio creates a new file for download. Your source file remains unchanged on your device.
