WHAT THIS VIDEO COVERS
────────────────────────
In this walkthrough I show how to split a PDF from start to finish — uploading the file, previewing every page as a thumbnail, picking the pages or ranges you want, and downloading the split files as a single ZIP.
Drop in a long contract, scanned invoice batch, eBook, court filing, or research report — pick pages 1-10 to send to your client and pages 11-50 for archives, or burst the whole thing into one PDF per page for filing into Dropbox, Drive, or your DMS.

KEY FEATURES
────────────────────────
✅ Split into individual pages — one PDF per page, downloadable as a ZIP
✅ Extract specific page ranges (e.g. 1-5, 12, 20-30) in a single pass
✅ Visual page-thumbnail picker — see every page before you split
✅ No page limit and no file size limit
✅ Original formatting, fonts, and annotations preserved exactly
✅ 100% browser-based — your PDF never touches our servers
✅ No watermarks, no signup wall, no per-file fees

WHEN TO SPLIT A PDF
────────────────────────
✅ Pulling chapters or sections out of an eBook, manual, or textbook
✅ Separating multi-invoice scans for individual accounting entry
✅ Sharing only the relevant pages of a contract or report
✅ Breaking up a court filing or discovery bundle into exhibits
✅ Filing scanned receipts or statements one page at a time into a DMS
✅ Splitting a merged batch back into per-client or per-deal PDFs

WHEN SPLITTING ISN'T THE RIGHT MOVE
────────────────────────
If you just want a smaller file for email, use Compress PDF — splitting doesn't reduce total size, it just chops one file into many. If you want to reorder pages or delete a few without splitting the whole document, use Reorder Pages or Delete Pages. For password-protected PDFs, unlock first with our Unlock tool, then split.
