Split PDF Files

How It Works

Splitting PDF files with pdfLaunch is quick and straightforward. Our online tool separates your documents into individual pages or custom ranges in three simple steps:

📤

1

Upload PDF file

Select your PDF document from your device or drag and drop it into the upload area. Our tool supports PDFs of any size.

✂️

2

Select pages or ranges

Choose which pages to extract. You can split by individual pages, page ranges (e.g., 1-5, 10-15), or create multiple custom ranges in one go.

⬇️

3

Download split PDFs

Download your separated PDF files. Each range becomes its own PDF file, or you can combine all ranges into one document.

No software installation or registration required. The entire process happens in your web browser, making it accessible from any device with an internet connection. Need to combine files instead? Try our Merge PDF tool. Want to reduce file size? Use our Compress PDF tool.

Use Cases

Our PDF splitter is perfect for a wide range of professional and personal tasks:

📑 Extract specific pages: Pull out individual pages or sections from large PDF documents for focused sharing or archiving.

📋 Separate multi-page documents: Split combined documents like invoices, contracts, or reports into individual files for better organization.
