About this tool
Turn one long document into separate single-sheet files in a single step. Every sheet becomes its own file, and all of them arrive together in one ZIP download.
How to use it
- Upload the document you want to separate.
- Run the tool.
- Download the ZIP and unzip it to find one file per sheet.
What you get
A 5-sheet upload produces five files, each named in order so they stay easy to sort. Packing them into a ZIP means you download everything at once instead of clicking dozens of links.
When it helps
- Filing scanned receipts or invoices one by one
- Sending a single certificate or form instead of the whole bundle
- Uploading documents to portals that accept only one sheet per file
- Sharing individual slides from an exported presentation
Split vs extract
Splitting separates everything into individual files. If you only need a few sheets kept together in one new document, use Extract Pages instead.
Good to know
Large documents produce many files, so the ZIP can be big. Password-protected or damaged uploads may need to be unlocked or repaired first. Your file is removed from our server shortly after processing.
A worked example
An office manager scans a stack of 25 supplier invoices in one go. Splitting the scan produces 25 separate files in a single ZIP, which can be renamed and filed into each supplier's folder in minutes instead of scanning each invoice separately.
Working with the ZIP
- On Windows, right-click the download and choose Extract All.
- On a Mac, double-click it to unpack the files.
- On phones, most file managers open ZIP archives directly.
Naming and organising tips
- Rename each file with a date and short description, such as
2026-09-invoice-acme. - Store them in folders by month, client or project.
- Delete blank sheets produced by the scanner.
When splitting is not the right choice
If you need two or three sheets kept together in one file, Extract Pages is quicker. If you want to remove a few unwanted sheets and keep the rest as one document, use Remove Pages instead.
Troubleshooting
Very long documents produce large archives, so allow a little extra time. Locked files must be unlocked first, and if your browser blocks the download, check its downloads panel or permissions.
