Whether you need to extract specific pages from a large document or create separate files from a single PDF, FileAlchemy's PDF splitting tool makes the process quick and easy. This guide will walk you through the steps to split your PDF documents effectively.

Click on the "Upload PDF" button or drag and drop your file into the designated area. FileAlchemy supports PDFs up to 100MB in size.
Step 3: Choose Your Splitting Method
FileAlchemy offers several splitting options:
- Split by page range (e.g., 1-3, 4-6, 7-9)
- Extract specific pages (e.g., 2, 5, 8)
- Split into equal parts (e.g., split a 10-page document into 5 parts of 2 pages each)
- Split by top-level bookmarks
Select the method that best suits your needs.
Step 4: Configure Split Settings
Depending on your chosen method, you'll need to specify the split parameters. For example, if you're splitting by page range, enter the desired ranges separated by commas.

Step 6: Process and Download
Once you're satisfied with the split configuration, click the "Split PDF" button. FileAlchemy will process your document and provide download links for the resulting PDF files.
Pro Tip:
When splitting large documents, consider using the "Split by top-level bookmarks" option if your PDF has a well-structured table of contents. This can save time and ensure logical document division.
