The Best Way to Split PDF Files Online

Splitting a large PDF document into smaller files or extracting specific pages shouldn't be a hassle. ToolifyPDF provides a powerful and flexible solution to split PDF files directly in your web browser. Whether you need to extract a single page, split by a specific range, or divide a file by size, our tool makes it simple and free. If you need to combine files later, you can always use our Merge PDF tool.

Multiple Split Modes

Choose from various splitting options: split every page, split by bookmarks, extract specific page ranges, or extract selected pages.

Split by Size

Need to meet a file size limit? Use our "Split by Size" feature to automatically divide your PDF into chunks that fit your size requirements (MB or KB).

How to Split PDF Files

  1. Select PDF: Click "Select PDF" or drag and drop your file into the box.
  2. Choose Mode: Select how you want to split: by page, range, or size.
  3. Configure: Enter your desired page numbers, ranges, or size limits.
  4. Split & Download: Click "Split PDF" and download your files (ZIP or single PDF).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it secure to split PDF files with ToolifyPDF?

Absolutely. Our tool processes your files using secure TLS encryption. We automatically delete all files permanently from our servers one hour after processing to ensure your privacy.

What happens when I split a PDF into multiple files?

When you split a PDF into multiple files, they are automatically packaged into a ZIP archive for easy download. If you extract a single page or range that results in one file, you'll get a PDF file directly.

Do I need to install any software?

No installation is required. ToolifyPDF is a fully online tool that works in any modern web browser on any operating system, including Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Can I split password-protected PDFs?

Yes, but you will need to unlock them first. If your file is encrypted, our tool will prompt you to use our Unlock PDF tool before splitting.

Is there a limit on the file size I can split?

ToolifyPDF supports splitting files up to 500MB. This is significantly higher than most other free online tools, allowing you to process even complex, high-resolution documents easily.

Advanced Features

Beyond basic splitting, ToolifyPDF offers several advanced features to help you work more efficiently:

  • Split by Bookmarks: Automatically generate separate files based on your document's internal chapters or outline.
  • Split by Size: Automatically divide PDFs into chunks smaller than a specified size (e.g., 5MB).
  • Extract Specific Pages: Enter comma-separated page numbers (e.g., 1, 5, 10) to extract only those pages.
  • Extract Ranges: Define ranges (e.g., 1-5, 10-15) to create separate files for each range.
  • Combine Extracted Pages: Option to merge all extracted pages into a single new PDF instead of separate files.
  • Preview Thumbnails: See a preview of your file to ensure you're working with the correct document.

💡 Pro Tip

Use the "Split by Size" feature when you need to email a large PDF that exceeds attachment limits. Simply set the size limit (e.g., 20MB), and we'll split it into perfectly sized parts.

Privacy & Security

We take your privacy seriously. All file uploads and processing happen over encrypted HTTPS connections. Your files are automatically deleted from our servers after one hour, and we never store or share your documents with third parties. You maintain complete control over your data at all times.
