Split a PDF into Separate Files

Cut one PDF into several files, by ranges you choose, every few pages, or one file per page.

About Split PDF

Split PDF files when only part of a document needs to go somewhere: chapter 3 for a reviewer, one payslip out of a year's worth, or a scanned batch that should really be twelve separate letters. All pages open as thumbnails. Click the scissors between two pages to cut there, and colored groups show which pages end up in which file.

You can also type ranges such as 1-3, 4-8, 9, split every N pages, or turn each page into its own PDF. Tick Put all ranges in one PDF to pull scattered sections into a single file instead. Each part is named after the original plus its pages, like report_4-8.pdf, and when there are several parts they also come as one ZIP.

Why use Cubfile for this

  • Scissors between pages

    Cut visually instead of counting. Each group gets its own color, so you can check the result before you run it.

  • Three ways to split

    Custom ranges, fixed chunks of N pages, or one PDF per page for scanned stacks of single-page letters.

  • Ranges into one file

    Pick pages 2-4 and 9-12 and join them into a single new PDF in the same step.

  • File names that make sense

    Every part carries the source name and its page numbers, so statement_7.pdf is easy to find later.

FAQ

Split PDF: questions and answers

How do I split PDF pages into separate files?
Choose Every page to get one PDF per page, or Every N pages with a number such as 2 for two-page forms. Download everything at once as a ZIP. To recombine some of them later, Merge PDF joins them in the order you choose.
Can I split PDF files by custom page ranges?
Yes. Type ranges separated by commas, for example 1-3, 4-8, 9, and each comma-separated part becomes its own file.
Does splitting change the quality?
No. Pages are copied into the new files without being redrawn, so text and images look exactly as in the original. If a part is still too big to send, Compress PDF can make it smaller.
How large a PDF can I split for free?
Up to 50 MB on the free plan and 1 GB with VIP. Visitors get 2 tasks in total, free accounts 2 per day, and VIP has no daily limit.
What happens to the PDF after I split it?
The original and every part are deleted from our server one hour after the task. Uploads are encrypted, and each task runs in an isolated process that no one looks into.
