Step by step

How To Split a PDF Every N Pages

Cut one document into equal chunks — say how many pages each file should hold, and the parts write themselves.

  1. 1

    Upload your PDF

    Drop in a document and every page appears as a thumbnail, with a zoom slider to size them. Files are deleted after 2 hours.

  2. 2

    Set how many pages per file

    The “Split every [2] pages” box sits right under the pages — type any number and the Filenames panel updates live: 8 pages every 2 gives four files, 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8. The last file holds whatever is left.

  • Chunks of N pages

    Every N pages becomes its own PDF — 2, 3, 10, whatever you type in the box.

  • Any count you like

    Change the number and the filenames and page ranges follow instantly — nothing to re-run.

  • The last part holds the rest

    8 pages every 3 gives 3, 3 and 2 — no page is ever lost on the way out.

  • Filenames panel

    Every part is listed under the pages as it will download — names and ranges, updated live.

  • Zoom the thumbnails

    The slider sizes every preview from 100% to 400% before you split.

  • Private by default

    No account, no watermark — and every file is automatically deleted after 2 hours.
