Split PDF
Free online tool to split a PDF into separate files. Open one PDF, see every page as a thumbnail, then split it your way: cut it into custom page ranges by clicking the scissors between pages, extract every page into its own PDF, split every N pages, or pick just the pages you need. Download each piece or all of them as a ZIP - everything runs in your browser and your file is never uploaded, so sensitive documents stay 100% private. No sign-up, no watermark and no file-size limits beyond your own device memory. Works on desktop and mobile.

About Split PDF
The Split PDF tool breaks one PDF into several separate files — right inside your browser. Open a document, see every page as a thumbnail, then split it whichever way suits you: cut it into custom page ranges by clicking the scissors between pages, extract every page into its own PDF, split into fixed chunks of every N pages, or tick just the pages you need and pull them into a single new file. Because everything happens locally on your device, your file is never uploaded to any server, which makes it safe for contracts, bank statements, medical records, scanned IDs and any other private document.
How to Split a PDF
- Open your PDF. Drag your file onto the drop area or click Choose a PDF file. It is read in your browser and stays on your device.
- Choose a mode. Pick Custom ranges, Every page, Every N pages or Select pages from the four tabs.
- Mark where to split. Click the ✂ between two page thumbnails to add a cut, type ranges like 1-3, 4-6, set a chunk size, or tick the pages you want — the coloured segments show exactly what each output file will contain.
- Split and download. Type an output name and click ✂ Split PDF. Download each piece on its own, or grab them all at once as a ZIP.
What Makes This Split PDF Tool Different
No upload, no cloud processing, no account. The split runs in JavaScript on your own device, so confidential files never leave your computer or phone.
Instead of guessing page numbers, click the scissors between page thumbnails. Each segment gets its own colour so you can see every output file before you split.
Custom ranges, extract every page, fixed chunks of every N pages, or cherry-pick individual pages into one new PDF — all from the same page grid.
Splitting into many files? Download them individually, or bundle every piece into a single ZIP with one click. Works great on phones too.
Common Uses
Pull a single chapter out of a long report, separate each invoice or receipt from a merged scan, split a double-sided scan into individual pages, extract just the signature page from a contract, break an e-book into sections, or keep only the pages you need before emailing a document.
Quality & Compatibility
Pages are copied across exactly as they are — the tool does not re-render or recompress them, so text remains selectable and searchable and images keep their original resolution. Every output is a standard PDF that opens in every PDF reader, browser and mobile device.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Split PDF tool free and private?
Yes. It is completely free and runs entirely in your web browser. Your PDF is never uploaded to any server, so it stays private on your own device, and the split files have no watermark and need no sign-up.
How do I split a PDF into custom page ranges?
Use the Custom ranges mode. Click the scissors icon between two page thumbnails to cut the document there, and each contiguous segment becomes a separate PDF. You can also type ranges like 1-3, 4-6, 7-10 in the box for full control — typed ranges override the visual cuts.
Can I extract every page into its own PDF?
Yes. Choose the Every page mode and every page of the document becomes its own single-page PDF. When there is more than one output file you can download them all together as a ZIP.
How do I pull out just a few pages?
Choose the Select pages mode and tick the page thumbnails you want — or use the quick Odd, Even and Select all buttons. The selected pages are combined, in page order, into a single new PDF.
Are there any file size or page limits?
There is no fixed limit. Because the splitting happens in your browser, the only practical limit is your device's memory. You can typically split documents with hundreds of pages on a modern computer or phone.
Does splitting reduce the quality of my PDF?
No. The pages are copied exactly as they are, so text stays selectable and images keep their original resolution. The tool never re-renders or recompresses your pages.
Can it split a password-protected PDF?
An encrypted or password-protected PDF cannot be split directly, and the tool will tell you when a file is protected. Remove the protection first — for example with your PDF reader's Print to PDF or Save a copy option — then open the unlocked file.
