Upload your PDF
Click "Select File" or drag your PDF into the upload area. Files up to 100 MB are supported.
Choose how to split
Pick "Custom ranges" (e.g., 1-3, 5, 8-10) to extract specific sections, or "Every N pages" to split evenly. A live preview shows the result.

Pro Tips
- Use custom ranges like "1-3, 7, 10-12" to extract several non-contiguous sections at once.
- Splitting every 1 page turns each page into its own PDF. Useful for batch sharing.
- Combine Split and Merge to reorder chapters of a large report without retyping anything.
