SweetcraftSplit PDF
Split a PDF into separate files by page ranges such as 1-3, 5-8. Runs entirely in your browser.
About this tool
Splitting is the reverse of merging: this tool takes one PDF and produces a separate file for each page range you enter, so “1-3, 5-8” returns two documents. It is the quick way to send a client only the relevant chapter of a report, separate a merged scan back into its documents, or pull a single page out of a long file.
Pages are copied exactly — nothing is re-encoded — and ranges are allowed to overlap when two outputs need the same pages. Files are handled one at a time because page numbers only have meaning within one specific document. Encrypted or password-protected PDFs are rejected; export an unlocked copy first.
How to use Split PDF
- Choose exactly one PDF file.
- Enter page ranges like 1-3, 5-8 — one output file is created per group.
- Download each extracted PDF.
Keep the original files and inspect the exported result before publishing or sharing it.
Frequently asked questions
How do I write the page ranges?
Use one-based page numbers. "1-3, 5" makes two files: pages 1–3 and page 5. Ranges must ascend and stay within the document.
Can ranges overlap?
Yes. Each comma-separated group becomes its own PDF, so "1-3, 2-4" produces two files that share pages 2–3.
Is the content preserved?
Yes. Pages are copied into new PDFs; text and vector content are unchanged.
Why only one file at a time?
Ranges refer to specific page numbers, which differ per document. Split files one by one for predictable results.
Are encrypted PDFs supported?
No. Encrypted or password-protected PDFs are rejected. Export an unlocked copy first.
