How it works
Process files without an upload queue
Enter comma-separated page groups such as 1-3, 5, 8-10. One group downloads as a PDF; multiple groups are packaged together in a ZIP file.

Common questions
Split PDF FAQ
What does a comma separate?
Each comma starts a new output PDF; a hyphen selects an inclusive page range.
Can page numbers be repeated?
Yes. Each output group is built independently from the physical page numbers you enter.
Why do printed page labels differ?
The tool counts physical PDF pages from the beginning, not custom labels printed in the document.
