Split PDF
Split a PDF document into separate files by defining custom page ranges, or extract individual pages as standalone documents. This is particularly useful when you receive a large combined export and need to distribute specific sections to different recipients. You can define multiple ranges in a single operation, generating all output files at once. The original document is never modified, and all splitting happens entirely in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this tool really free?
- Yes, all our PDF tools are completely free to use with no hidden costs, subscriptions, or per-file charges. We support the service through non-intrusive advertising, not by charging for basic document operations. You can use any tool as many times as you like, with no daily limits, file size restrictions, or account requirements whatsoever.
- Are my files secure?
- Absolutely. All PDF processing happens directly in your browser using local JavaScript and WebAssembly libraries. Your files are never uploaded to any server, never stored in the cloud, and never transmitted over the internet. The files remain entirely on your device from start to finish, giving you complete control over your sensitive and confidential documents.
- Do I need to create an account?
- No registration or account is required to use any of our tools. Simply navigate to the tool you need, upload your file, configure any options, and download the result. There are no sign-in walls, email verification steps, or profile setup processes. We designed these tools to be immediately accessible without any friction or onboarding.
- What browsers are supported?
- Our tools work on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Brave on both desktop and mobile devices. JavaScript must be enabled for the tools to function. For best performance with large files, we recommend using a recent version of Chrome or Firefox on a desktop computer with adequate memory available.
- Can I split a PDF into individual pages?
- Yes, you can split a PDF into individual pages, creating one separate PDF file for each page of the original document. You can also split into custom page ranges, such as pages 1-5, 6-10, and 11-15, or any other combination. The tool gives you full flexibility over how the output files are defined.
- Will splitting affect the quality?
- No, splitting a PDF preserves the original quality of every page. The operation does not re-render or re-compress any content β it simply reorganizes which pages go into each output file. Text remains selectable, images retain their original resolution, and all embedded fonts and metadata are preserved in each resulting file.
- How do I specify the page ranges for splitting?
- You can enter page ranges using standard notation: individual page numbers separated by commas (e.g., 1, 3, 7) or hyphenated ranges (e.g., 1-5, 8-12). You can combine both formats in the same definition. Each range you define becomes a separate output PDF file, and you can define as many ranges as you need in a single operation.
- Can I split a large PDF into equal-sized chunks?
- Yes, you can split a PDF into equal chunks by specifying a fixed number of pages per file. For example, splitting a 30-page PDF into chunks of 10 pages produces three output files of 10 pages each. This is useful for distributing large documents in smaller, more manageable pieces.
- How do I download all the split files?
- After splitting, all output files are bundled into a single ZIP archive that you can download with one click. The files inside the archive are named to reflect their page ranges or position in the sequence. You can then extract the ZIP on your device to access the individual PDF files.
