How long does it take to split a PDF?
Updated July 2026
Most jobs to split a PDF finish in a few seconds; large or scanned files take a little longer. Splitting a PDF breaks one document into the pieces you need — by page range, by fixed interval, or one file per page — with no quality loss. It runs in your browser session, so there is no upload queue to wait behind.
