Need to extract specific pages from a PDF or divide it into smaller files? Rune's Split PDF tool makes it easy—upload, select your pages, and download your results in seconds.

Why Split PDFs?

Extract Specific Pages

Pull out just the pages you need from a large document.

Create Smaller Files

Divide large PDFs into manageable chunks for easier sharing.

Remove Unwanted Content

Keep the pages you need, leave behind the rest.

Organize Documents

Split combined documents back into logical sections.

Split PDF Methods

Rune offers multiple ways to split your PDFs:

1. Extract Page Range

Specify exactly which pages you want: pages 1-5, or pages 10-15, etc.

2. Split Every N Pages

Automatically divide into equal parts. A 20-page PDF split "every 5 pages" becomes 4 separate PDFs.

3. Custom Ranges

Create multiple files with specific page ranges: 1-3, 5-7, 10-12 → three separate PDFs.
