  • Use 'split every 5 pages' to automatically split into equal-sized documents.
  • Page numbers start from 1 (not 0).
  • You can split a PDF into as many parts as needed.
  • The split files are packaged in a ZIP file for easy download.

How to Split PDF in Google Chrome (Free Trick)

Did you know you can use Google Chrome to split PDFs without any tools? Here's how:

  1. Open your PDF in Chrome (Drag & Drop).
  2. Press Ctrl+P (Print).
  3. Change Destination to 'Save as PDF'.
  4. Under Pages, select 'Custom' and enter the page range you want (e.g., '1-5').
  5. Click Save.

Limitations:

  • You can only extract one range at a time.
  • It's tedious for splitting into single pages.
  • No bulk processing.

Our Tool vs Chrome:

Our Split PDF tool allows you to bulk extract multiple ranges or split every page into a separate file in one click, saving you hours of manual work.

Split PDF on Mac (Preview Method)

Mac users can use the Preview app:

  1. Open the PDF in Preview.
  2. Open the Thumbnails view.
  3. Select the pages you want to extract.
  4. Drag and drop them onto your desktop. A new PDF containing only those pages will be created.

This is great for simple tasks but becomes slow if you need to split a large document into many separate files.

Common Use Cases for Splitting PDFs

1. Extracting Invoices: You have a single PDF with 100 invoices but need to send just one to a client. Use our tool to extract that specific page.

2. Removing Unwanted Pages: Remove cover pages, blank pages, or sensitive information by extracting only the content you want to keep.

3. Breaking Down Large Reports: Split a 500-page annual report into chapters (e.g., 'Financials', 'Marketing', 'HR') for easier emailing and reading.

4. Legal Discovery: Lawyers often need to extract specific evidence pages from massive discovery bundles.
