Split a PDF exactly the way you want
Four ways to cut: pick pages visually, type ranges like "1-3, 5", split at the document's own bookmarks, or chunk it under a maximum file size in MB.

Four split modes
Visual page picking, typed page ranges with inline error checking, level-1 bookmarks, and a measured max-size mode in megabytes.
Bookmark-aware splitting
Structured documents split at their chapter headings, and the output files are named after the bookmark titles, no renaming afterwards.
Runs in your browser
The document is parsed and rebuilt locally. Even a confidential 500-page report never leaves your machine.
Four ways to cut the same document
Point at the cuts, type the ranges, follow the bookmarks, or set a maximum size in megabytes.
Point at the cut
Visual mode lays out the thumbnails and puts a scissors toggle between every pair of pages. Click one and the document splits there.
Four split modes
One document, four strategies. Pick whichever matches what you already know about it.
Type the ranges when you know them
Mistyped ranges are flagged inline, and the button tells you how many files you are about to get.
Built, named and measured before you save
The report lists every file with its page count, so you check the result first. Bookmark mode even names them after the chapter titles.
Ranges for precision, visuals for speed
When you know the pages, type the ranges, "1-3, 5, 8-12", and get exactly those pages. Mistyped ranges are flagged inline before anything is built.
When you don't know the pages yet, the visual mode shows thumbnails so you can point at the cut points directly.
Let the document split itself
Reports, manuals and books carry a table of contents as PDF bookmarks. The bookmark mode cuts at every level-1 entry and names each output file after the section title.
For email-size problems, the max-size mode measures the document and splits it into chunks that each stay under the limit you set.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, type a range like "1-3, 5" and only those pages are extracted into a new PDF.
It cuts the document at each level-1 bookmark (the chapter headings) and names the resulting files after the bookmark titles.
No. Pages are copied into the new files without re-encoding, so text and images are preserved exactly.
