Ranges, sizes or chapters

Why GenPDF
Split PDF with GenPDF: what is different
Pages kept whole
Pages are copied as they are, with their text, fonts and pictures, and splitting by size never cuts a page in two.
Split on your device
The PDF is split in your browser, not uploaded, so a long document doesn't wait on a transfer.
Questions
Split PDF: questions and answers
How do I separate one page from a PDF?
To take one page out as its own file, use Extract pages with its number: you download a one-page PDF and your file stays as it was. To separate every page, use Split pages here and each page becomes its own PDF. To delete the page instead, use Delete pages.
How do I keep only some pages?
Use Extract pages, type the pages you want, such as 1-3, 8, and download them as one new PDF. To get several ranges as separate files, use Split pages with page ranges.
Can I split a PDF into parts small enough to email?
Yes. Split by size takes the largest size you allow, say 5 MB, and makes parts under it, pages in order. A page heavier than that on its own gets a file to itself; compress the PDF first to make it fit.
Can I split a file that holds many invoices?
Yes, with Split by text: type words that begin each document, such as Invoice No, and a new PDF starts at every page that has them. A scan needs its text made editable first.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Splitting happens in your browser. A scanned page is sent as an image only if you agree to have its words read, and deleted as soon as they are read.
