Split PDF Files Online
Split your PDF documents with three powerful modes: extract by page range, select individual pages, or split by file size. Preview page thumbnails, choose exactly what you need, and download instantly. Free, fast, and secure.
Why Split PDF Files?
Splitting PDFs lets you extract only the specific pages you need from a large document. This is invaluable when you want to share individual chapters from a book, extract specific invoices from a compiled statement, send just a few relevant pages from a lengthy report, or separate a scanned multi-document batch into individual files.
Splitting also helps dramatically reduce file size for email attachments that need to stay under inbox limits, makes large documents much easier to organize into logical sections, and enables you to distribute only the relevant portions of a document to different recipients or departments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What split modes are available? ▼
MiConvert offers three modes: Range (custom page ranges, split every N pages, or extract all pages), Pages (select individual pages by clicking thumbnails or entering numbers), and Size (split into chunks of a target file size in MB).
How do I specify which pages to extract? ▼
In Range mode, use the From/To inputs to define page ranges, and click 'Add Range' for multiple ranges. In Pages mode, click page thumbnails to select them or type comma-separated page numbers (e.g., 1, 3, 5, 7).
Will the split PDF keep the original formatting? ▼
Yes, all extracted pages retain their complete original formatting, including text layout, embedded images, vector graphics, fonts, annotations, bookmarks, and page sizes. Nothing is altered during the split process.
What is the output when splitting into multiple files? ▼
When splitting produces multiple files (fixed interval, extract all, size mode, or multiple separate ranges), the output is a ZIP archive containing all individual PDFs.
Can I split a password-protected PDF? ▼
You will need to unlock the PDF first using our dedicated Unlock PDF tool by entering the correct password, then you can split the resulting unprotected version using any of the three split modes.
How does split by size work? ▼
Enter a target size in MB (e.g., 10 MB). The tool will split your PDF into chunks where each part is approximately that size. This is useful for email attachments or upload limits.
Is there a page limit? ▼
You can split PDFs with up to thousands of pages without any page count restrictions. The only limitation is the file size, which is capped at 50MB for free users to ensure fast processing.
