How to use Split PDF

  1. Choose Split PDF in the extension and add the document.
  2. Run the split operation to create separate page outputs.
  3. Download the output files and check their page content before sharing.

A few useful details

Splitting creates separate PDF outputs, rather than converting the pages into pictures. A ZIP keeps multiple files together and can be extracted using your computer’s archive tools.

What to know first

Password-protected or malformed PDFs may not be processed. Modifying a signed PDF can affect its signature validity.

Common questions

Can I split without Pro?

Yes. This is a free local operation and does not consume a Pro allowance.

Can I combine the files again?

Use the free Merge PDF tool to join compatible PDFs. Review page order before saving.
