How to split a PDF file
Upload
Drop your PDF to split. It's uploaded securely and processed on our servers.
Choose split points
Click between pages to place cut lines.
Download
Get your split files as a ZIP. No watermark.
Why our split tool
Split exactly where you want
Open the page view, find where the document should break, and split there. One file becomes separate documents, cut at the point you chose.
Sort the document before you split
Drag pages into a better order or straighten a sideways scan with Rotate first, so what comes out the other side is already right.
Every piece in one download
Your separate documents come back together in a single zip, so you save everything at once instead of one file at a time.
Why people choose PDF Bean
Splitting is one job of many. The tools you need around it — page-level editing, merging, converting, and a place where the results are kept — all work the same way, in the same browser tab.
Every PDF job in one tab
Merge, split, rotate, and convert to and from Word and JPG — all in the same place, all in the browser. Drop a file once and pick what you want to do with it; there is nothing to install.
Organize with precision
Get exact control over what ends up in a document: reorder the pages, rotate what came in sideways, delete what you do not need, or cut one file into several. No moving your files between separate applications.

Frequently asked questions

No. Splitting produces new documents and leaves the file you uploaded as it was.
Yes. It's the same page view used across PDF Bean's tools, so you can drag pages into a new order or straighten a sideways scan with Rotate before you split.
They come back together in a single zip, so you download everything in one go rather than saving each piece separately.
