Why FileReadyNow
Split a PDF into Individual Pages or Custom Page Ranges
Extract the exact pages you need from any PDF and download them as separate files or a smaller combined document.
Split by Page Range
Specify exactly which pages or page ranges to extract rather than being forced to take every page individually.
Individual Page Files
Split the entire document into separate one-page PDFs, each named by page number, for easy individual sharing.
Original Quality Maintained
Pages are extracted without re-encoding so text, images, and formatting remain exactly as they appeared in the original.
Download as ZIP
When splitting into multiple files, all extracted pages are bundled into a single ZIP for a one-click download.
Files Deleted After Download
Your uploaded PDF and all split output files are automatically removed from the server after you download them.
No Account Required
Upload your PDF, choose your split options, and download the result. No signup, no watermark, no limits.
A 40-page PDF where you only need pages 3 and 7 is a common frustration. You either send the whole thing and hope the recipient finds what they need, or you go looking for a way to pull out just those pages. The Split PDF tool breaks any PDF down to individual single-page files and bundles them in a ZIP, so you can grab exactly what you need and share only that.
How the split works
You upload a PDF and every page comes out as its own separate PDF file. They are packaged into a ZIP that downloads automatically, named by page number so you can tell them apart at a glance. You can split one document or upload several PDFs at once; each one is handled on its own and produces a separate ZIP.
The splitting runs entirely in your browser. The file never gets sent to a server, which matters when you are working with documents that contain anything sensitive.
One PDF in, individual pages out
- Input: PDF files (up to 10 at once, 50 MB per file, 100 MB total)
- Output: ZIP archive with one PDF per page
- Pages are named sequentially so you can identify them easily
- Client-side processing, so files stay on your device the whole time
When splitting is the right move
- Extracting a specific page: pull a single certificate, invoice, or signed form out of a larger document without sending the whole file.
- Reordering and rebuilding: split a document into individual pages, remove or rearrange them, then use the merge tool to put the ones you want back together.
- Getting past upload size limits: when a portal or email has a file size cap, splitting breaks a large PDF into smaller pieces that each come in under the limit.
- Sharing selectively: send one relevant page or section to a colleague rather than the full document.
- Filing records individually: when each scanned page is a separate document that needs its own entry, splitting saves you from doing it manually.
What you get after splitting
Each output file is a real single-page PDF, not a screenshot or flat image of the page. The original text, fonts, and resolution come through intact. The ZIP downloads automatically once the split finishes. If you uploaded multiple PDFs, each one gets its own ZIP so the output stays organised by source file.
