Easily split combined PDF pages into separate documents
Sometimes you need to break apart a PDF that was previously merged—whether it’s a scanned document with multiple pages, or a collection of files combined into one. If that’s your situation, don’t worry—splitting PDF pages back into individual files is simple, fast, and can be done entirely online.
When You Might Need to Unmerge a PDF
- You merged multiple PDFs and now need them separate again
- You scanned several pages together and want to extract individual pages
- You only need to keep or send certain sections of a larger file
How to Split PDF Pages
To unmerge PDF files and extract pages, follow these steps:
- Go to a trusted PDF splitter tool in your browser.
- Upload the PDF you want to separate from your device or cloud storage.
- Choose your split method:
- Split by range: Define custom page ranges or split into equal-sized chunks.
- Extract specific pages: Pick the pages you want to pull out.
- Click the “Split” or “Extract” button.
- Download your new, separated PDF files.
Can I Split Large PDF Files?
Yes. Most online tools support files up to a certain size for free—typically around 100MB. For larger documents, many platforms offer paid upgrades that support splitting PDFs up to several gigabytes.
Want to Extract Just One Page?
You can extract a single page—or multiple non-consecutive pages—using the same tool. Just select the exact pages you want, and they’ll be saved as separate PDF files for easy use and sharing.
Additional PDF Editing Options
Once you’ve unmerged your PDF, you can go further by rearranging pages, deleting unwanted ones, or even combining specific sections into a new document. Online PDF editors offer a variety of tools to help you reshape your file exactly how you need it.
