Split a PDF

Divide a large PDF file into smaller files of a given file-size limit

You may need to split a large PDF file into smaller pieces where each smaller file fits within a given file-size limit.
Split-a-PDF is the only free online tool which allows you to do this without executing a grueling series of trial and error attempts at different page ranges.

2) Specify the maximum file size of the resulting split documents

Interactively view the PDF file and click and preview which page ranges to extract

Using the intuitive visual PDF previewer, click and select the page range(s) to extract into smaller individual PDF files.

2) Use the document previewer to select the pages to extract

In the left Navigate Pane, scroll up and down to preview the pages and click to select the start and ending pages. All pages highlighted in red on the left will be split-out into a separate PDF document.

Tip: Alternatively, rather than scrolling, you can manually enter the page ranges in the bottom right input boxes.
