Split PDF Files Online for Free

Sometimes you don't need the whole document — you need page 4, or chapter two, or every invoice as its own file. Splitting a PDF lets you break one large document into smaller pieces or pull out just the pages you want, without printing and re-scanning anything. PDFOrca's split tool does this in the browser and hands back exactly the pages you asked for.

You can split by a fixed range (say, pages 1–10 and 11–20), extract a handful of specific pages, or break a bundle into individual single-page files. This is ideal when a scanner has saved a hundred documents as one endless PDF, or when a shared report contains a section that only one colleague needs.

Common reasons to split a PDF

• Sharing selectively — send someone only the pages relevant to them instead of the entire file.
• Separating batch scans — turn one long scan into one file per document.
• Trimming size — a smaller subset of pages is quicker to email and upload.
• Reworking a document — split, edit the pieces, then reassemble.

Accurate, lossless splitting

Splitting copies the selected pages exactly as they are — no re-compression, no change to text or image quality. Bookmarks and page content stay intact within the range you keep.

Split, then do more

Splitting pairs naturally with the rest of the toolkit. Break a document apart, reorder the pieces with Organize PDF, and merge them back into a cleaner sequence. If you only ever want a couple of pages, Extract Pages is a faster route to the same result. And when the pages you've pulled out are still heavy with scanned images, run them through Compress PDF so the new, smaller files are genuinely lightweight.
