How to split a PDF file
Select or drag a PDF file into the box above. Choose whether you want to extract a specific page range (like pages 1-3) or split every page into its own separate file. Click "Split PDF" and your file(s) will download automatically — no email, no sign-up, no server upload.
Is it safe? Where does my file go?
Your PDF never leaves your device. This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript — nothing is uploaded, stored, or sent anywhere. Once you close this page, everything is gone. This makes it safe for sensitive or private documents.
Frequently asked questions
What page range formats are supported?
You can use a simple range like "1-5", a comma-separated list like "1,3,5", or a mix like "1-3,7,9-10".
What happens when I split every page separately?
Each page becomes its own PDF file, and all of them download together as a ZIP archive so you don't get flooded with individual downloads.
Does this reduce file quality?
No. Splitting doesn't re-compress or alter page content — pages are extracted exactly as they were in the original file.
When splitting a PDF makes sense
A single large PDF — a scanned book, a bundled contract package, a multi-chapter report — is often more useful broken into individual pages or sections, especially when only part of it needs to be shared, printed, or uploaded somewhere with a page-count limit. Splitting also helps when a file is too large to email as one attachment but works fine broken into smaller pieces.
How to choose what to split out
You can extract a specific page range (for example, just pages 5-10 of a report) or split every page into its own separate file, depending on what the end use requires. If you're preparing a document for a form that only accepts single pages, or removing a signed page from a longer contract to file separately, extracting a specific range is usually the faster option rather than splitting the entire document.
Frequently asked questions
Does splitting affect the quality of the pages?
No — each resulting file contains the original page content exactly as it appeared in the source PDF, with no re-compression.
Can I split out non-consecutive pages, like 2, 5, and 9?
Yes, page ranges and individual page numbers can be combined to pull exactly the pages you need.
