Split a PDF into the page ranges you need

Preview the document, enter one or more ranges, and download separate high-fidelity PDFs in a ZIP file.

PDFArrow parses comma-separated page ranges and copies the selected native pages into separate PDF files. Text, vectors, page dimensions, and rotation are retained because the pages are not converted to images.

Split PDF questions

Can I split a PDF into multiple files?

Yes. Each comma-separated range becomes a separate PDF, and multiple results download together as a ZIP.

Does splitting change page quality?

No. Selected native PDF pages are copied into new documents without rasterizing them.

What PDF limits apply?

The browser workflow supports valid, unencrypted PDFs up to 50 MB and 200 pages.

Can I extract just one page?

Yes. Enter a single page number as its own range, such as 7.
