Splinting PDFs...
ILOVEPDF.BIZ gives you precise control over how your PDF is divided. Choose Custom Ranges to extract a continuous section by specifying a starting and ending page, or use Fixed Range to split the document into smaller files containing a chosen number of pages. Whether you need a specific chapter, separate sections, or smaller files from a large document, you can split your PDF directly in your browser. If you need to combine extracted pages with other documents afterward, use our Merge PDF tool.
Choose the splitting method that matches how you want to divide your document. Extract a specific continuous section with Custom Ranges or divide the entire PDF into smaller files using Fixed Range.
Custom Ranges lets you extract a continuous section of your PDF by specifying its starting and ending pages. Enter the first page in the From Page field and the last page in the To field.
For example, suppose you have a 50-page annual report and only need the financial section on pages 28 to 41. Enter 28 in From Page and 41 in To. The tool extracts those 14 pages into a separate PDF, while your original document remains unchanged.
This mode is useful for extracting a book chapter, a section of a legal document, a contract appendix, or a specific module from a larger training document. Once extracted, you can open the new PDF in our PDF Editor to make further changes.
Need individual pages scattered throughout a document rather than one continuous section? Use Extract PDF Pages to select specific pages, such as pages 3, 7, and 15, and save them together in a separate PDF.
Fixed Range divides your entire PDF into smaller files containing the same number of pages. Simply enter one number to specify how many pages each output file should contain. The tool then splits the document automatically into consecutive sections.
For example, imagine you have a 24-page scanned document containing application forms, with four pages belonging to each application. Enter 4 in the Fixed Range field, and the tool will create six separate PDF files, each containing four consecutive pages.
This mode is particularly useful for dividing scanned paperwork, batches of application forms, student records, invoices, or other documents arranged in regular page groups. Instead of selecting each section manually, enter the number of pages per file and let the tool divide the document for you.
Splitting, extracting, and deleting PDF pages serve different purposes. Choose the option that matches what you want to do with your document, so you can get the right result without using the wrong tool.
| You Want To | Use |
|---|---|
| Save one continuous section (pages 10 to 20) as its own PDF. | Split PDF – Custom Ranges |
| Turn every page into a separate PDF file. | Split PDF – Fixed Range of 1 |
| Divide a large scanned document into equal-sized parts. | Split PDF – Fixed Range |
| Pick scattered pages (such as pages 2, 5, and 9) and save them together in one file. | Extract PDF Pages |
| Keep the original document but remove a few unwanted pages. | Delete PDF Pages |
| Change the order of pages without removing them. | Organize PDF |
Sometimes you don't need the entire document. Whether you're dealing with upload restrictions, scanned paperwork, a specific chapter, or a signed page, splitting a PDF helps you extract exactly what you need.
Job sites, university portals, and government forms may restrict file uploads to limits such as 2–10 MB. Split your PDF into smaller parts and upload them separately if the portal allows multiple files. If you need to submit one complete document, try Compress PDF first to reduce its file size.
Scanning several forms together can leave you with one large PDF instead of separate files. Choose Fixed Range and enter the number of pages in each document. For example, if every form contains four pages, enter 4 to create separate four-page PDF files.
You may need to share one chapter of a book, report, or training manual without sending the entire document. Select Custom Ranges, enter the chapter's starting page in From Page and its ending page in To, then download the extracted section as a separate PDF.
When someone requests only a signed agreement or signature page, you don't need to send the complete document. Select Custom Ranges and enter the same page number in both From Page and To. The selected page will be extracted as a separate one-page PDF.
Drag and drop your file onto the page, click to upload it from your computer, or import it directly from your Dropbox account. Your PDF will be ready for you to choose how it should be split.
Select Custom Ranges to extract a specific section of your PDF. Enter the starting page in the From Page field and the last page in the To field. Alternatively, select Fixed Range and enter one number to specify how many pages each output PDF should contain. For example, entering 5 splits a 20-page document into four separate 5-page files.
Review your selected split mode and settings, then click the Split PDF button. The tool will process your document and generate the output files according to your chosen settings.
Download your split PDF files individually. To combine any extracted sections with other documents, use our Merge PDF tool. Your original PDF and output files are automatically deleted from our servers after 1 hour.
Split large PDF documents into smaller files or extract specific sections when you only need part of the original document. Here are four common situations where Custom Ranges or Fixed Range can help.
Use Custom Ranges to enter the starting and ending page of the chapter you need. Save that section as a separate PDF to share with a specific team, include in another report, or review independently. You can also open the extracted document in our PDF Editor to make further changes.
Accounting systems sometimes generate combined PDF statements where each invoice occupies a continuous set of pages. Use Custom Ranges to specify the first and last page of an invoice and extract it as a separate PDF. Repeat the process for other invoices that need to be filed or forwarded individually.
When several forms or records are scanned into one large PDF, use Fixed Range to divide the document into smaller files. Enter the number of pages belonging to each document. For example, if every application contains four pages, enter 4 to create separate four-page PDF files.
Extract just the signed page from a multi-page agreement by selecting Custom Ranges and entering the same page number in both From Page and To. You can then share or archive the signature page independently without distributing the entire contract. Before sharing, use our Protect PDF tool if the extracted document needs password protection.
Yes, every file uploaded to ILOVEPDF.BIZ is transferred using SSL encryption throughout the entire process. Your document is processed on our secure servers and all files including the original upload and every output file are automatically deleted 1 hour after processing. We do not store, read, share, or sell any of your document content at any point.
For confidential documents like legal contracts, financial records, or medical files, your content is fully protected from upload to deletion. If you need to unlock a password protected PDF before splitting it, use our unlock PDF tool to remove the protection first and then proceed with splitting.
ILOVEPDF.BIZ does not impose a fixed file-size limit for PDF splitting. You can use the tool for free without creating an account, subject to the upload and processing limits of your device and server environment.
Custom Ranges lets you specify a starting page in the From Page field and an ending page in the To field to extract one continuous section of your PDF. Fixed Range works differently: enter one number to decide how many pages each output PDF should contain. For example, entering 5 divides a 20-page document into four separate files, each containing five pages.
Select Fixed Range and enter 1 as the number of pages per output file. The tool will create a separate one-page PDF for every page in your original document.
Yes. To select scattered pages such as pages 2, 5, and 9 and save them together in one PDF, use our Extract PDF Pages tool. It lets you choose individual pages without extracting the entire document.
Not directly. Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked before splitting. Use our Unlock PDF tool first, then upload the unlocked file to split it.
No. Splitting extracts pages from the original document without applying additional compression or reducing their resolution. Your original text, images, and page content are retained in the resulting PDF files.
Yes, ILOVEPDF.BIZ works in mobile browsers on iPhone and Android. Open the website in Safari or Chrome, upload your PDF, choose your splitting settings, and download the resulting files without installing an app.
Your original PDF and resulting split files are automatically deleted from our servers after 1 hour.
Yes. Use our Merge PDF tool to combine your split sections into one document or join them with other PDF files.
After splitting your PDF, you might also need one of these:
to combine split sections with other documents or rejoin pages into a new arrangement.
to reduce the file size of any split section before sharing or archiving it.
to edit the content of an extracted section before downloading or sharing it.
to add password protection to sensitive extracted pages before sharing them.
to remove password protection from a locked PDF before splitting it.
to select specific, non-consecutive pages and save them together in a separate PDF.
to permanently remove unwanted pages from a PDF while keeping the remaining document.
to rearrange pages into your preferred order without splitting the document into separate files.
