There are many ways to split a file. You can split one big file into many smaller, one-page files. You can split them into multiple files with various page ranges. Or you can pick the pages from one file to remove into a brand-new file. The only question is: where and how?

Luckily for you, Smallpdf has the answer to this problem. Our file splitter can divide your files quickly, regardless of their format. One of the most popular file types to split is PDF, as the format typically doesn’t allow for much modification. With Smallpdf, splitting PDF files is almost as easy as opening them.

Splitting One File Into Multiple Files

If you want to split your file into multiple PDFs, you can try the batch processing Pro feature for free with a 7-day free trial. You can also use the Smallpdf Desktop App’s batch processing function.

Here’s how to do that:

Open your PDF in the app. If the file is not in PDF, you can use the convert tool to change its format.
Select the pages you want to remove, then click on the three dots at the top right of the thumbnail and choose “Export page(s) as.”
Select the format you want the removed files to be in, and you’re done!
No download is required, as the app processes your files offline. Instead, our file splitter will prompt you with a pop-up to pick where to save your files.
