How to split a PDF online

  1. Add your PDF

    Drop the PDF you want to break up onto the tool, or browse or paste it from your clipboard. It splits into one file per page straight away.

  2. Choose a split mode

    Keep Single pages for one PDF per page, or switch to Page ranges and type entries like 1-3, 5, 8-10 to extract sections.

  3. Download the results

    Save each PDF with its own download button, or click Download all to get every file in a single zip.

Why use this tool

Two ways to split

Single pages bursts the document into one PDF per page automatically. Page ranges produces one PDF for each comma-separated part you type.

A file per range

Typing 1-3, 5, 8-10 yields three PDFs: pages 1 to 3, page 5 by itself, and pages 8 to 10.

Self-explanatory file names

Every output inherits the source name plus its page span, like report-p5.pdf or report-p8-10.pdf.

Zip the whole batch

Download pieces one at a time or click Download all to bundle everything into a single zip, built locally on your device.

Splits without a server

Pages are copied into the new files on your device. Free to use, nothing uploaded, no watermark added.

About this tool

This splitter takes one PDF apart entirely in your browser. In Single pages mode it bursts the document into a separate file for every page the moment the file loads. Page ranges mode gives finer control: each comma-separated part you type, such as 1-3, 5, 8-10, becomes its own PDF, and switching modes pre-fills the field with the full span of the document so there is always a valid starting point.

Splitting earns its keep whenever one file has to become several: extracting a single signed page from a contract, separating chapters that were exported as one block, or breaking an oversized scan into pieces small enough to email. Output names carry the source name and page span, report-p5.pdf or report-p8-10.pdf, so a folder of results stays legible. Each piece has its own download button, and Download all zips the whole batch on your device.

The source document is never transmitted anywhere; every new PDF is assembled from locally copied pages, so text and images survive untouched. The reverse operation lives at merge PDF, removing pages without keeping them is delete PDF pages, and stamping numbers on the pieces afterwards is add page numbers.

Frequently asked questions

How do I split a PDF?
Drop a PDF onto the tool. By default it bursts the document into one file per page. Switch to Page ranges and type ranges like 1-3, 5, 8-10 to pull out specific sections, each as its own PDF.
What does the page range format look like?
Use commas to separate parts and hyphens for ranges. For example, 1-3, 5, 8-10 produces three PDFs: pages 1 to 3, page 5 on its own, and pages 8 to 10. Spaces are ignored.
Can I download all the split files at once?
Yes. Each resulting PDF has its own download button, and a Download all button packages every file into a single zip so you can grab them in one click.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Splitting happens entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded, never stored, and never leaves your device.
Does splitting keep the original quality?
Yes. Pages are copied into new PDFs without re-encoding, so text stays selectable and images keep their original resolution.
