Extract pages or split a PDF into separate files — by range or one file per page. Free, in your browser.
Everything runs in your browser — your file never leaves your device.
Split PDF lets you pull a specific page range out of a PDF or break a single document into many smaller files. Point it at a report and keep just pages 12 to 18, or take a 200-page scanned batch and explode it into 200 individual PDFs delivered as one ZIP. It is the opposite of merging: instead of combining files, you carve one file into the exact pieces you need. The tool works on the page level, so you never have to retype, re-scan, or rebuild anything in a word processor to get a slimmer document.
Reach for this when a PDF is bigger than it needs to be. Common situations include trimming a long contract down to the signature page before emailing it, separating a stack of scanned invoices that came through as one file, lifting a single chapter out of a manual, or getting a 30 MB attachment under a 10 MB upload cap. Sending only the relevant pages also keeps private information off the screen, which matters when a document holds more than the recipient should see. Splitting by page is faster and cleaner than printing to PDF or screenshotting individual pages.
Under the hood the tool reads your PDF, copies the page objects you select, and writes them into one or more brand-new PDF files. Because it copies the original page content rather than re-rendering or re-compressing it, the output keeps the same text, fonts, images, and resolution as the source. For a range extract you get a single PDF; for a full split you get every page as its own file, bundled into a ZIP so the download stays tidy. Page numbers follow the document order you see in any viewer, starting at 1.
Everything happens inside your browser using JavaScript. Your PDF is loaded into the page's memory, processed on your own device, and never sent to or stored on a server, so there is no upload step and no copy left online afterward. That keeps sensitive files such as tax records, medical scans, or signed agreements on your machine. One limit to know: an encrypted, password-protected PDF cannot be split until it is unlocked, because the page contents stay scrambled. Open it with its password and re-save an unprotected copy first, then split that.
No. The tool copies the original page content into the new files rather than re-rendering or re-compressing it, so text, fonts, images, and resolution stay exactly the same as the source document.
Type the first and last page of the range you want, counting from page 1 as shown in your PDF viewer. For example, a range of 5 to 8 produces one new PDF containing pages 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Extracting a range gives you a single PDF with just the pages you chose. Splitting every page turns each individual page into its own separate PDF, and all of those files are delivered together in one ZIP download.
No. The split runs entirely in your browser on your own device, so the file is never uploaded or stored online. This keeps confidential documents private and makes the process work even without a stable internet connection once the page has loaded.
Not while it is still encrypted, because the page contents remain locked. Open the file in a PDF viewer with its password, save an unprotected copy, and then split that copy instead.
