Range › CustomSplit every N pages

Click the thumbnails or type 1,5-8. Save each page separately or together as one new PDF.

Pages › Extract all pagesSplit by file size
Keep every part under 25 MB for Gmail, 10 MB for a portal, or any limit you set in KB or MB.
SizeSplit by bookmarks

Range › BookmarksStep-by-step guides
Guides for each split mode
How to split a PDF by page range
- Open your PDF in the splitter and choose the Range tab, then Custom.
- Type the first range, for example from page 1 to 3. Click Add Range for each extra part you need.
- Each range is previewed as a card with its first and last page, so you can check the cut points before splitting.
- Tick Merge all ranges in one PDF file if you want the ranges joined into a single document. Otherwise, click Split PDF to get one file per range.
How to split a PDF every N pages
- Choose Range, then Fixed.
- Enter how many pages each file should have. For example, 2 splits a 10-page file into five 2-page PDFs.
- The panel tells you how many PDFs will be created. If the page count doesn't divide evenly, the last file holds the remaining pages.
- Click Split PDF. Files are named by page range, such as report-1-2.pdf, so they stay in order.
How to extract pages from a PDF
- Choose the Pages tab and Select pages.
- Click the thumbnails of the pages you want. Shift-click selects a whole run. You can also type the numbers, like 1,5-8,12. The box and the thumbnails stay in sync.
- To get one new PDF containing only those pages, tick Merge extracted pages into one PDF file. Leave it unticked to save each page separately.
- Click Split PDF. Your original file is not changed.
How to separate every page of a PDF
- Choose the Pages tab and Extract all pages.
- Every page is marked, and the panel confirms one PDF per page.
- Click Split PDF. All the single-page files download together in one ZIP, numbered in page order.
How to split a PDF by file size
- Choose the Size tab. You'll see the original file size and page count.
- Enter the largest size each file may be, and pick KB or MB. Common limits: Gmail 25 MB, Outlook.com 20 MB, many upload portals 5–10 MB.
- Optional: tick Allow compression to shrink images first, which means fewer files.
- Click Split PDF. Raha fills each part with as many pages as fit under your limit, and the preview shows each file's real size. If one page alone is bigger than the limit, it gets its own file and you're told which page.
How to split a PDF by bookmarks or chapters
- Choose Range, then Bookmarks.
- Raha reads the PDF's top-level bookmarks and starts a new file at each one. Pages before the first bookmark become a "Front pages" file.
- Click Split PDF. Files are numbered and named after their chapter, like 02-Introduction.pdf.
No bookmarks in your file? Use custom page ranges instead.

Use cases
What people split PDFs for

Batch scans of invoices and receipts
Scanned a stack in one go? Separate every page or split every 2 pages so each document is its own file.
Books, manuals and reports
Share one chapter instead of the whole book. Split by bookmarks and every chapter is named for you.

FAQ
Split PDF questions, answered
How do I split a PDF into separate pages?
Upload the PDF, open the Pages tab and choose Extract all pages, then click Split PDF. Every page is saved as its own PDF, and all of them download together in one ZIP file.
How do I extract only certain pages from a PDF?
In the Pages tab choose Select pages, then click the page thumbnails or type page numbers such as 1,5-8. Tick Merge extracted pages into one PDF file if you want a single PDF instead of one file per page.
Can I split a PDF by file size?
Yes. Open the Size tab and enter a maximum size in KB or MB. Raha puts as many pages as fit under the limit into each file, which is useful for email attachment limits such as Gmail's 25 MB. Turn on Allow compression to shrink images first so you get fewer files. A single page that is already larger than the limit is saved on its own, and you are told which page it was.
Can I split a PDF by chapters or bookmarks?
Yes. In the Range tab choose Bookmarks. A new file starts at every top-level bookmark and is named after it, so each chapter becomes its own PDF. If your PDF has no bookmarks, use Custom ranges instead.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Splitting runs in your web browser. Your PDF is read and the new files are created on your own device, so the document is never sent to Raha Tools or anyone else.
Is Split PDF free?
Yes. The free plan needs no account and adds no watermark. It includes 3 tasks per hour, with files up to 50 MB and 200 pages. Every split mode, including split by size and by bookmarks, is available on the free plan. The Pro plan removes the limits.
Will splitting reduce the quality of my PDF?
No. Pages are copied exactly as they are: text stays sharp and selectable, and images keep their resolution. Quality only changes if you choose Allow compression in the Size tab.
Why did I get a ZIP file?
When a split creates more than one PDF, the files are bundled into one ZIP because browsers block many downloads at once. Double-click the ZIP on Windows or Mac, or open it in the Files app on iPhone and Android, to get the PDFs.
Can I split a PDF on my phone?
Yes. The splitter works in Safari and Chrome on iPhone, iPad and Android with nothing to install. Tap page thumbnails to choose pages.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
If the PDF needs a password to open, remove the password first with Unlock PDF, then split the unlocked file.
