Define custom page ranges to split your PDF. Create multiple files with exactly the pages you need.

Some documents have a rhythm to them — a break that repeats at a steady interval rather than at random page numbers. Splitting by interval lets you cut at those regular points: every chapter that runs the same length, every recurring statement period, every fixed block in a structured export. Rather than listing each cut individually, you define the interval once and the tool places a break at each repeating boundary as it moves through the file. Think of a yearly ledger where each month occupies a predictable span, or a catalog where every product section is the same depth — you set the step and the splits fall exactly where the pattern says they should. It's a middle ground between hand-picking ranges and blindly chopping the file. As with everything here, the file is processed in your browser and never uploaded.

## How it works

1. **Upload PDF** — Select or drag and drop the PDF file you want to split
2. **Choose Method** — Select how to split: by page range, specific pages, or every N pages
3. **Download Results** — Get your split PDFs as individual files or in a convenient ZIP archive

## Use cases

- **Recurring Statements**: Split a combined annual ledger at each repeating monthly period into separate files.
- **Catalog Sections**: Cut a product catalog at each evenly spaced section boundary for individual handouts.
- **Structured Exports**: Divide a report generated with fixed-length blocks at each repeating interval.
- **Periodical Issues**: Separate a bound run of a newsletter where every issue spans the same number of pages.

## Tips

- **Confirm the Pattern Holds**: Interval splitting assumes the spacing is consistent; skim the document first to be sure the boundary really repeats.
- **Offset the Front Matter**: If a cover or intro throws off the rhythm, account for those opening pages before the interval kicks in.
- **Test on a Copy**: Run the interval on a short section first to confirm the breaks land where you expect across the whole file.
- **Combine With Ranges**: If one section breaks the pattern, handle it as a single range and let the interval cover the rest.

## FAQ

### How is splitting by interval different from every N pages?

Both repeat a break, but interval splitting is about cutting at a recurring structural boundary rather than simply slicing the file into equal stacks.

### What if the spacing isn't perfectly even?

Interval splitting works best on a consistent pattern. Where a section deviates, pull that part with a single range and apply the interval elsewhere.

### Do front pages affect where the breaks land?

They can. If a cover or table of contents sits ahead of the pattern, factor those pages in so later cuts stay aligned.

### Are the interval files full quality?

Yes. Each interval section is copied straight from the source with no quality change.

## Problems solved

- Cutting structured files at recurring boundaries
- Listing the same break over and over by hand
- Separating periodic content from one combined export
- Splitting documents that follow a steady rhythm

## Stats

- **Repeating cuts** at a set interval
- **Pattern-aware** follows document cadence
- **Local only** no upload required
