Split PDF Into Separate Pages
Use Split PDF ↓Create separate PDF files from individual pages or page ranges.
Leave blank to create one PDF for every page. Separate groups with commas: 1-3,4-6 creates two PDFs; 1,3,5-7 creates three PDFs.
Continue your task
Join a selection of your split files into a new document. Open Merge PDF.
Read the range syntax as groups
With a six-page source, 1-3,4-6 means two output documents. Leaving the page groups blank creates one PDF for each page. Inspect the files inside the downloaded ZIP before sending them to different recipients.
One output with selected pages?
Use Extract PDF Pages when you need selected pages together in one PDF. Use Delete PDF Pages when most pages should remain and only a few should be removed. These operations solve different selection tasks.
Check the result against the source
Compare the first and last page of each exported group. A document with printed page numbers can have a different physical PDF page index, especially when it includes a cover or contents page. Use the PDF page position in the input.

Split a PDF into separate files
Use this tool when one PDF needs to become several smaller PDFs. If you leave the page-groups field blank, ToolVero creates one PDF for every page. If you enter groups, each comma-separated group becomes its own PDF file.
How to split every PDF page separately
- Choose the PDF.
- Leave the page-groups field blank.
- Select Split PDF.
- ToolVero creates a ZIP containing one PDF per source page.
For example, a five-page source PDF becomes five files named by page number. This is useful when every invoice, certificate or form page must be saved separately.
How to split a PDF by page range
Enter each desired output as a comma-separated group. For example:
1-3,4-6→ two PDFs: pages 1–3 and pages 4–6.1,3,5-7→ three PDFs: page 1, page 3 and pages 5–7.2-4→ one PDF containing pages 2–4.
Use ranges that match logical sections such as chapters, invoice batches or appendices. The source PDF remains unchanged.
Split PDF vs Extract PDF Pages
Split PDF creates multiple output files. Extract PDF Pages creates one new PDF containing the selected pages together. If you need pages 2, 5 and 8 in a single file, use Extract PDF Pages. If you need those pages as three separate files, use Split PDF.
Things to check after splitting
- Open several output files and verify the first and last page of each range.
- Check that page orientation and visible content match the source.
- Keep the original PDF until the split files have been reviewed.
- For very large PDFs, split smaller groups if your browser runs low on memory.
Privacy and file handling
The PDF is processed in your browser with PDF-related JavaScript libraries. ToolVero does not upload the source PDF to a ToolVero file-processing server. The page can load public library resources from CDNs, so browser-side file processing should not be confused with a promise of zero network activity. See the Privacy Center for the current technical explanation.
Frequently asked questions
Can I split every page into its own PDF?
Yes. Leave the page-groups field blank and the tool creates one PDF per page inside a ZIP file.
Can I split a PDF into two page ranges?
Yes. Enter two groups such as 1-5,6-10. Each group becomes a separate PDF.
Can I extract several non-consecutive pages into one PDF?
Use Extract PDF Pages for that job. Split PDF treats comma-separated groups as separate output files.
Does splitting change the original PDF?
No. ToolVero reads the source in the browser and creates new output files; the original file on your device is not overwritten.
