Separate documents scanned together
A scanning batch usually mixes several documents. Splitting by ranges separates them without running the paper through the scanner again.

What it is for
Splitting a PDF lets you carve independent parts out of a long document. It is not the same as extracting single pages: here you define ranges and each range becomes its own file, which is what you want when one PDF actually contains several documents stuck together.
The classic case is batch scanning. You feed twenty sheets through the scanner, get a single twenty-page PDF, and inside it there are four separate invoices. Splitting by ranges gives you those four invoices as separate files, ready to be filed wherever each one belongs.
Everything happens inside your browser, and the result downloads as a ZIP containing the pieces, so you do not have to save them one by one.
How it works
- Upload the PDF you want to split by dragging it into the drop zone.
- Type the page ranges you want to separate, e.g. "1-3;4-6" to create two files.
- Click "Process" and download a ZIP with each chunk as an independent PDF.
When to use it
Send a single chapter
From a hundred-page manual, sending only the relevant section saves the recipient time and avoids sharing more than necessary.
Divide the work
When several people have to review or translate a long document, splitting it into sections lets you assign parts without overlap.
Practical tips
- Groups are separated with semicolons and ranges with hyphens: "1-3;4-6;7" produces three files.
- The numbers refer to the PDF pages, not to the numbering printed on the paper. If the document opens with two unnumbered cover pages, everything is shifted by two.
- Check the total page count first: asking for a range beyond the end usually yields a shorter result than expected.
- If what you want is one file with non-consecutive pages rather than several files, the tool you need is "Extract pages".
Frequently asked questions
How do I specify several page groups?
Separate each group with a semicolon. For example "1-2;3-5;6" produces three separate PDFs.
What happens if I don't type any range?
If you leave the field empty, the whole document is treated as a single group, so you'll get an identical copy of the original.
