How to: Split PDF
- Select the PDF you want to split.
- Enter page ranges like 1-3,5 or leave empty to split every page.
- Click Start and download the resulting PDF(s) as a ZIP.
Splitting lets you pull out just the pages you need – one chapter, one invoice, one signed page – instead of sending a whole document. With FreePDF the split happens locally, so large or sensitive PDFs stay on your device.
Common uses

Tips for best results
- Use ranges like 1-3,7,10-12 to create several files at once.
- Leave the field empty to split every page into its own PDF.
