How to split a PDF file

3

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.

Frequently asked questions

Splitting with PDF Bean is secure by default. Every file you send is transferred using TLS encryption between your device and our servers, so your documents are protected the whole way and your privacy is preserved. You can split contracts, invoices, and other sensitive paperwork without worrying about your information being leaked.

Upload your file and it opens as a grid of every page. Find the point where the document should break, click between those two pages, and your separate documents are ready to download.

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.

Everything you create is saved to My documents, linked back to the file it came from, so you can find it again later.
