A scanned contract with one page you actually need, or a 200-page report you only want to send one chapter of — with PDF42 you can split it on your Android phone in a few taps, no computer required.
Split a PDF in 4 steps
- Open SplitIn PDF42, open Tools and tap Split.
- Pick the PDFChoose the file you want to split.
- Choose your pagesEnter a page range, or tap individual pages to pull out.
- Save the new filesSave or share the split-out PDF — the original stays untouched.
Most online PDF splitters need you to upload your file to a server first, and some cap how many pages you can split for free. PDF42 splits on your device, so a private document never leaves your phone — and there's no page limit or watermark on the result.
Extract pages, or split into equal parts?
PDF42 supports both. Pick specific pages if you only need one section (say, page 4 of a signed contract), or split by range if you want to break a long document into several smaller files of roughly equal length.
Does splitting affect quality?
No. Splitting just separates existing pages into new files — it doesn't re-render or compress anything, so text and images come out exactly as sharp as the original.
