Split PDF files online

Separate a PDF into smaller files for chapters, individual records or a document handoff.

or drag and drop them here PDF only · up to 50 MB each

3 free exports per day · No signup needed

Free allowance & file limits

PDF input only: 50 MB per file, 100 files and 500 MB per workspace. Split export supports up to 200 parts.

Each device gets 3 successful standard exports per UTC day, shared by anonymous and signed-in free users. The allowance resets at 00:00 UTC (UTC midnight). Signing in, signing out or switching free accounts does not change it. No signup is needed to return tomorrow. A combined export counts once; failures and repeat downloads do not use another allowance. AI and OCR are not included in the free allowance.

Common questions

What file do I download?

Split export creates a ZIP containing the separate PDF sections.

Can I extract just a few pages?

Select those pages and choose Extract selected pages instead of Split into a ZIP.

Where should split markers go?

Mark the final page of each section except the final page of the document.

Does splitting redact information?

No. It selects pages, not hidden information within a page. Inspect each result before sharing.
