What is PDF Splitting?
PDF splitting is the process of taking a multi-page PDF document and separating its pages into individual documents or specific page ranges. Whether you have a 100-page report and only need pages 12 through 18, or a combined batch of invoices that need to be separated into individual files, splitting gives you granular control over your PDF content.
With TurboPDF, you can split documents using three intuitive modes: Custom Page Ranges (e.g., pages 1-5 and 8-12), Visual Page Extraction (select specific pages by clicking their thumbnails), or Equal Interval Splitting (automatically break a document into 2-page, 5-page, or single-page files).
All splitting operations execute entirely inside your local web browser session using client-side WebAssembly routines. Your confidential documents, legal agreements, tax forms, and medical records are never uploaded to remote servers or cloud storage.
Original formatting, high-resolution vector illustrations, embedded fonts, form fields, and hyperlinks are preserved with 100% fidelity in every generated output file.

Pro Tips for Splitting PDF Files
Use Visual Extraction for Non-Contiguous Pages
If you need pages 2, 7, and 19 from a presentation, choose 'Extract Pages' and click those thumbnails directly instead of building multiple custom ranges.
Leverage Every N Pages for Batch Invoices
If your scanner outputs a continuous 50-page document where each invoice is exactly 2 pages, choose 'Every N Pages' with a value of 2 to generate 25 clean files instantly.
Check Page Numbers Against Original Content
PDF page labels sometimes differ from printed document numbers. Use the rendered thumbnail previews to confirm you are targeting the correct physical page.
Combine with PDF Merge for Re-sequencing
Need to reorder complex document sections? Split the PDF into individual parts first, then use our Merge PDF tool to assemble them in the exact order you want.
