Split PDF

Split a PDF into separate pages, or pull a page range into a new file.

How to use

  1. Drop in your PDF.
  2. Choose: every page as its own PDF (ZIP), or a custom range like 1-3, 5.
  3. Download the result.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded?

No - splitting happens in your browser with client-side code. Your document never leaves your device.

How do I write a page range?

Use commas and dashes: “1-3, 5, 8-10” selects pages 1 to 3, page 5 and pages 8 to 10.

Split a PDF the way you actually need to

Splitting a PDF means different things at different moments: pulling one signed page out of a twenty-page contract, breaking a scanned book into chapters, or separating every page into its own file. This tool covers all of it - extract a single page, a range like 5-12, or burst the whole document into individual pages - and it does the work inside your browser, so the PDF is never uploaded to anyone's server.

That privacy matters precisely because the documents people split are the sensitive ones: leases, statements, medical results, legal filings. Here they stay on your machine from open to download.

Extract, range, or burst

To keep just part of a document, enter a page range and get a new PDF containing only those pages, in order. To break a document apart, burst it into one file per page - handy when a scanner saved a whole stack as a single PDF and you need each form separately. Page numbering follows the document as you see it, so page 1 is the first page, not a zero-indexed surprise.

The original is never modified; splitting always produces new files and leaves your source untouched, so there's no way to lose the complete version.

Split, then merge or compress

Splitting pairs naturally with the rest of the PDF toolkit. Pull the three pages you need out of two different reports, then combine them with our Merge PDF tool into one clean document. Or split a huge file into parts to get under an email limit, compressing each with Compress PDF if they're still heavy. Because every tool runs client-side, you can chain them without a single upload in the whole workflow.
