Split the PDF into individual single-page files. Each page becomes its own PDF and all files download together as a ZIP.
Enter page ranges to extract as separate PDFs. Each range becomes one file.
Use commas to separate ranges. Examples: 1-3 → pages 1, 2, 3 as one PDF
1-3, 5, 8-10 → three PDFs
Select individual pages to extract into a single PDF.
Click pages to toggle selection.
What is splitting a PDF?
Splitting a PDF breaks one document into smaller pieces — either every page as its own file, specific page ranges as separate documents, or a hand-picked selection of pages combined into one new PDF. It's useful whenever you need to pull one chapter out of a report, separate a scanned batch of forms into individual documents, or send just a few pages of a larger file without sharing the whole thing.
This tool splits your PDF entirely inside your browser using pdf-lib, a JavaScript PDF library. Pages are copied directly from your original file into new PDF documents — nothing is re-rendered as an image, so quality, fonts, and formatting stay exactly as they were. Your file is never uploaded to a server at any point.
When a split produces multiple files, they're automatically bundled into a single ZIP so you don't have to download each one separately — a small touch that saves a lot of clicking when splitting a large document into individual pages.
How to Split a PDF
01
Upload your PDF
Click the drop zone or drag and drop your PDF onto the page. The file stays on your device — nothing is uploaded.
02
Choose split mode
Extract every page as individual files, define custom page ranges, or hand-pick specific pages to combine into one file.
03
Set options
Give your output files a filename prefix so they're easy to find and identify in your downloads folder.
04
Download
Hit Split PDF and your files download instantly. If the split produces more than one file, they're packaged into a ZIP automatically.
Tips & Best Practices
🔢 Use ranges for grouped pages
If you need chapters or sections kept together, use the range mode with something like "1-5, 6-10" instead of extracting every page individually.
🎯 Pick pages for a custom selection
Need pages 2, 5, and 9 combined into one file? Use Pick mode to hand-select exactly the pages you want in a single output PDF.
🏷️ Use a clear filename prefix
A prefix like "contract" instead of "split" makes it much easier to find your files later, especially when a split produces a ZIP with many pages.
📦 Check the ZIP after multi-file splits
When splitting into many individual pages, all files land in one ZIP — extract it fully before searching for a specific page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks, and no file size or page count limits. The tool is supported by ads, not user fees.
Completely. All splitting happens inside your browser using JavaScript. Your PDF is never uploaded to any server and never leaves your device.
Enter ranges separated by commas. For example: "1-3, 5, 8-10" produces three PDFs — one containing pages 1 through 3, one with just page 5, and one containing pages 8 through 10. Each range becomes its own file.
When your split produces more than one PDF, all files are automatically packaged into a ZIP file and downloaded together in one click. No need to download files individually.
No — pages are extracted directly from the source PDF without any re-rendering. Fonts, images, formatting, and quality are fully preserved in every output file.
The tool will attempt to read encrypted PDFs but may not succeed with all protected files. If your file fails to load, try removing the password protection first, then split.
"All Pages" extracts every page of your PDF as its own individual file. "Ranges" lets you define one or more page groups (like "1-3, 5, 8-10") that each become a separate file. "Pick Pages" lets you hand-select individual pages from a grid and combines your selection into a single output PDF.
You can click pages in any order, but the resulting PDF will always place them in their original numerical order (lowest page number first) to keep the output document logically structured.
There's no fixed limit set by the tool. Since everything runs on your own device, very large PDFs (100+ pages) split into many individual files may take a little longer to process and package into a ZIP.
Yes. This tool runs fully in mobile browsers such as Safari and Chrome. Tap the drop zone to select a PDF from your device and use the same split modes as on desktop.
