March 24, 2025 · 4 min read
Got a 50-page PDF but only need pages 3–7? Or want to split every page into its own file? Splitting PDFs is one of the most common document tasks — and it takes seconds with the right tool.
How to split a PDF in 3 steps
- Open RizzPDF Split PDF
- Upload your PDF and choose a split mode:
- By range — enter page numbers like "1-3, 5, 8-10"
- Every page — split into individual single-page PDFs
- Click Split — each part downloads as a separate PDF
Common reasons to split a PDF
- Extract a single page — pull one page from a large report
- Separate chapters — break a book or manual into sections
- Remove confidential pages — share only the relevant sections
- Reduce file size — send only the pages someone actually needs
- Re-merge in different order — split then merge with different ordering
What's the page range syntax?
Enter page numbers separated by commas. Use a dash for ranges:
// Single pages
1, 3, 7
// Page ranges
1-5, 10-15
// Mixed
1, 3-6, 9, 12-20
Each comma-separated segment becomes a separate output PDF.
Are my files safe?
Yes — splitting happens entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never sent to any server. This is important for confidential documents like legal filings, medical records, or financial reports.
Split PDF vs. Organize PDF — what's the difference?
Split PDF divides a document into separate files. Organize PDF lets you reorder, rotate, or delete individual pages within a single document. For most extraction tasks, Split is what you want.
