About this tool

Break a single PDF into multiple files — split every page into its own document or pull out a specific range of pages. Everything runs locally in your browser for full privacy.

Limits and edge cases
  • Splitting every page of a very long PDF into a ZIP happens entirely in your browser's memory, so a huge scan can be slower on an older phone than on a desktop.
  • The page-range field accepts patterns like 1-3, 5, 8-10, but doesn't support reverse ranges (10-8) or numbering from the end — count from the front.
  • Splitting a password-protected PDF isn't supported directly; unlock it first with Unlock PDF, then split the unlocked copy.
  • Each split file keeps its original page size and embedded fonts, so quality and formatting match the source page exactly — splitting never re-renders content.
Split, Extract, or Delete: which one actually does what you need?
You want to...Use this toolWhat you get
Break one PDF into many filesSplit PDF (this tool)One PDF per page, zipped together. In range mode, one new PDF with the pages you choose.
Pull a few pages into one new fileExtract pages from PDFA single new PDF containing only the pages you picked.
Remove a few pages, keep the rest as one fileDelete PDF PagesThe original document minus the pages you removed.

Only need pages 4 to 6 as one file? Do not split the whole document and hunt through the pieces. Just extract pages from PDF by clicking them, and you get one new document.

Compared with tools that upload your file

iLovePDF, Smallpdf and PDF24 all offer this kind of job, and the online ones upload your file to their servers to do it. Here the work happens in this tab instead. Read the honest comparisons with iLovePDF, Smallpdf and PDF24, including where they are the better choice, or how to check that a tool does not upload.

Frequently asked questions

Can I split just a few pages out of a large PDF?+
Yes. Use the page range option to extract exactly the pages you need instead of splitting the whole document.
What format are the split files delivered in?+
You'll receive a ZIP file containing each resulting PDF, ready to download in one click.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?+
Not directly — remove the password first with Unlock PDF, then split the unlocked file. Splitting reads pages directly and can't open an encrypted source.
What page-range formats are supported?+
Comma-separated numbers and dashes, like 1-3, 5, 8-10. Ranges are read left to right and duplicate pages are ignored automatically.
Is there a maximum number of pages I can split?+
No hard limit is enforced by the tool — very long documents are bounded by your device's available memory rather than by us, since everything happens in this browser tab.
Does splitting reduce PDF quality?+
No, splitting only separates existing pages into new files without re-encoding any content.
What's the difference between Split and Extract Pages?+
Split turns a document into many files — either one file per page, or one file per range. Extract Pages does the opposite: it pulls the pages you pick into a single new document, leaving the rest behind. Use Split when you want the document broken apart; use Extract when you want just a subset kept together.
How do I split a PDF online for free?+
Drop the PDF, choose single pages or a page range, and download the result. It is free, needs no account, and runs in your browser.
