When You Need to Split a PDF

Extract specific pages from a large report. Separate a merged multi-document PDF back into its parts. Divide a scanned document into individual pages for portal uploads. Share only relevant sections with a recipient.

Types of PDF Splits

Split into individual pages: Every page becomes its own PDF. A 50-page document becomes 50 PDFs.

Extract a page range: Pages 5-12 become one file. Useful for extracting chapters or sections.

Extract specific pages: Pick pages 1, 5, 12, 23 — only those four pages in the output.

  • Splitting PDFs for Government Portal Uploads

    Many Indian government portals cap uploads at 1-2MB. Solution: First use Compress PDF to reduce the file size. If still too large, use Split PDF to divide into sections and upload each separately. DigiLocker, GST portal, MCA filings, and UIDAI document uploads commonly have these restrictions.
