SPLIT MODES
Pick the mode that matches the job. The preview shows every new file before you download.
| MODE | WHAT IT DOES | USE IT FOR |
|---|---|---|
| Every N pages | Cuts the file into equal chunks of N pages each. | Single pages, or batches such as 2-page forms |
| At chosen pages | Starts a new file at each page you click. | Chapters or sections of different lengths |
| Each selected range | Makes one file per block of pages you select, such as 1-3 and 8-10. | Pulling out a few parts and leaving the rest |
The original PDF isn’t changed. Each new file keeps its pages’ text, links and image quality.
