How to split a PDF into single pages
- Click Select PDF file or drop a PDF onto the page. Page previews appear.
- Every page is preselected, so each page will become its own PDF.
- Click Split PDF. All pages download together as a ZIP file.
Why split every page?
Some upload forms and document systems only accept one page per file, such as visa portals that want each certificate separately, HR systems that file each payslip individually, or e-signature tools that need separate pages. Splitting is also useful for scanned batches: if you scanned 30 receipts or forms in one go, splitting creates one file per receipt that you can rename and file.
Quality and file size
Pages are copied exactly, so text remains selectable and searchable, and images keep their resolution. Each single-page file contains only the resources that page needs, so individual files are usually much smaller than the original document.
Unzipping the result
On Windows, right-click the ZIP and choose “Extract All”. On a Mac, double-click it. On iPhone and Android, the Files app opens ZIP files with a tap. To put selected pages back together in a new order, use Merge PDF; to keep only certain pages, use the main Split PDF tool.
Renaming the single-page files
After unzipping, each file is named with its page number, which keeps everything in order in your folder. If the pages are separate documents, such as individual invoices or certificates in one scan, rename them with something meaningful like the invoice number or the person’s name before filing or uploading them. Searching for files later is much easier with descriptive names.
Large documents
Splitting runs on your device, so a document with hundreds of pages takes only a few seconds on most computers. Very large scanned PDFs, where each page is a high-resolution image, can take longer and use more memory, especially on phones. If your device struggles, split the document into ranges first with the main Split PDF tool, then split each part into single pages.
Single pages to images
Need each page as a picture instead of a PDF, for example to post on social media or insert into slides? Use PDF to JPG, which turns every page into a JPG or PNG image at the resolution you choose.
Frequently asked questions
How do I separate all pages of a PDF?
Select the PDF; “Every page” is already chosen. Click Split PDF and you get one PDF per page, packed in a ZIP file.
How are the files named?
Each file is named after the original with its page number, for example report-page-1.pdf, report-page-2.pdf, so they stay in order.
Can I split only some pages?
Yes. Switch to Extract pages and click the pages you want, or use Split by ranges.
