Sometimes you only need a few pages out of a long PDF — a single chapter, one signed contract, or the invoice buried on page 40. Our Split PDF tool lets you extract exactly the pages you want, break a document into separate files, or divide it into equal parts, all in a few clicks. Every split runs locally in your browser, so a confidential report is never uploaded and your original file stays untouched on your device.
or click to browse. Processing happens 100% in your browser.
🔒 Your file stays on your device. We never see it.
Drop your document onto the tool. It loads instantly because there is no upload — the file is read directly by your browser.
See your document's pages so you can identify exactly which ones you need to keep, extract, or remove before you split.
Pull out a single page range, save every page as its own file, or divide the document into evenly sized chunks — whichever matches your task.
Enter the specific pages or ranges you want (for example, 1–3, 7, 10–12). The tool keeps exactly those pages in the order you specify.
Your browser builds the new file or files on the spot, copying each selected page at full quality with no server round trip.
Save your extracted pages as a single PDF or as a tidy set of files. No watermark, no account, no waiting.
Pull out any page or combination of ranges — like 1–3 and 8 — into a clean new document. Perfect when you need one section from a large file.
Turn a multi-page PDF into individual one-page files in a single pass, ideal for separating scanned batches or distributing pages to different people.
Break a long document into evenly sized files — for example, every 10 pages — to make large PDFs easier to email and manage.
Splitting happens entirely in your browser, so your document is never uploaded. Sensitive contracts and records stay on your machine at every step.
Extracted pages keep their original quality, fonts, and layout exactly. Splitting never re-compresses or alters your content.
Split as many documents as you like with no page caps, no daily limits, and no sign-up required to download your files.

Splitting is the mirror image of merging: it takes one PDF and separates it into smaller documents, either by extracting a specific range of pages or by breaking the file into individual pages. This is invaluable when a single scan contains several distinct records — invoices, chapters, or signed forms — that each belong in a different place. The tool copies the selected pages into new files while leaving the source untouched, so nothing is lost in the process.
Thoughtful splitting keeps large documents manageable and shareable. Instead of forwarding a 200-page manual when a colleague needs only one section, you can extract exactly the pages that matter, producing a lightweight file that opens instantly and respects the recipient's attention. It is also a privacy tool: by isolating just the relevant pages, you avoid inadvertently sharing confidential information contained elsewhere in the original document.
Splitting pairs naturally with the other tools in a document workflow. You might split a large scan into individual records, delete the pages you no longer need, then merge the survivors into a fresh file — all without ever leaving your browser. Because the process runs locally on your device, even sensitive multi-record documents never touch a remote server. The extracted files are ordinary PDFs, ready to email, upload, or archive immediately, and your original stays exactly as it was so you always retain the complete version alongside the smaller pieces you carve out of it.
Extracting the right pages saves everyone from scrolling through content they do not need. Here is where Split PDF earns its place in your toolkit.
Splitting is quick, but a few habits make it foolproof and keep your output organized.
Extracting pages should be effortless and safe. Here is why this splitter stands out.
Your document is processed locally and never uploaded, so even highly sensitive files can be split with complete peace of mind.
Extract exact ranges, single pages, or equal parts — the flexibility to get precisely the output your task requires.
Split as often as you need with no daily caps or forced upgrades getting in your way.
Combine with merge, compress, and rotate to reorganize documents exactly how you want, all in one free, private toolkit.
Yes. You can specify any combination of pages and ranges, such as 1-3, 7, and 10-12, and the tool will pull exactly those pages into a single new document in the order you list them.
No. Splitting is lossless — each extracted page is copied at its original resolution with fonts, images, and layout fully preserved. Nothing is re-compressed.
No. The entire process runs in your browser, so your file never leaves your device. This makes it safe to split confidential legal, medical, or financial documents.
Yes. Choose the option to save every page as its own file, and the tool produces one PDF per page in a single operation, which is ideal for separating scanned batches.
No. Splitting creates new files and leaves your original completely untouched on your device, so you always have the source to fall back on.
There is a practical 50MB file limit to keep in-browser processing stable, but no cap on how many pages you can extract or how often you split.
You will need to remove the password first with our Unlock PDF tool, since the pages must be readable to be extracted. After unlocking, splitting works normally.
No. Every output file is a clean PDF with no watermarks, stamps, or added branding.
Yes. The tool works in mobile browsers, so you can extract pages on the go without installing any app.
100% free. 100% private. 100% in your browser.
