Splitting a PDF, explained
Splitting a PDF means dividing a single document into several independent files, either page by page or by choosing the exact ranges you need. It's a common task when you only need part of a long document, when you want to break a manual into sections, or when you have to share only a few pages without sending the whole file.
The split into individual pages option generates one PDF file for every page in the original document, keeping the content, selectable text, images, and layout exactly as they were.
The extract by ranges option lets you specify which pages or groups of pages you want, for example "1-3, 5, 8-10": each range or single page becomes an independent PDF file. If the result is several files, Unido automatically groups them into a .zip so you can download them all at once.
Since the entire process happens on your own device, there are no usage limits or upload wait times: speed depends only on your computer or phone. The maximum file size supported is always shown clearly before you try to split it.
