How to Split a PDF File — Complete Guide
Upload your PDF
Drag and drop or click to select your PDF. PDFly loads a visual page preview so you can see exactly what you are splitting.
Select pages or ranges
Click individual pages to toggle them, or enter a custom range like "1-3, 5, 8-10". Switch between Extract and Split-All modes.
Download your files
Click "Split PDF Now" and download your extracted pages as a single PDF or a ZIP archive of individual page files.
PDFly's PDF splitter gives you precise control over which pages to keep. Whether you need to extract a single chapter from a large report, separate invoices from a batch scan, or divide a presentation into individual slides, PDFly handles it in seconds — no desktop software required.
Unlike basic PDF splitters, PDFly shows you a live page thumbnail grid before you split, so you always know exactly which pages you are selecting. Custom range input supports comma-separated pages and hyphenated ranges (e.g. "1, 3-5, 7") for maximum flexibility.
All processing happens securely on our servers with 256-bit SSL encryption. Your files are automatically deleted within 2 hours. PDFly never adds watermarks, never reads your document contents, and never requires a login for standard splits.
