Split a PDF
Break one PDF into separate files, one per page, or pull out just the pages you need.
Runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
Every page appears as a thumbnail, and clicking one marks a cut in front of it: the page shows a pair of scissors and a line down its left edge, and the count tells you how many files you are about to get. Everything between two cuts is written as its own PDF, which is what splitting a report into its chapters actually is.
The cuts can also be typed — "1, 4, 7-9" — or set every N pages in one press, which is how a scanned batch of two-page invoices comes apart. Whichever way they are made, they show up on the grid first, so you are looking at the split before it happens rather than reading a page-range box and hoping.
"One file per page" is the other honest answer and needs no picking at all. Either way the pages are copied across whole rather than re-encoded, so the files that come out are byte-for-byte the pages that went in, and the original on your disk is only ever read.

Questions
How do I split a PDF into one file per page?
Press "One file per page". Each page is written as its own PDF, named after the original with its number appended, and no cuts need marking.
How do I split every two pages?
Set the "every" box to 2 and press Mark cuts. The grid shows where the tears land before you split.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied across whole, with their fonts and images intact. Nothing is re-encoded, so a split page is byte-for-byte the page it came from.
