Split PDF
Pull out just the pages you need, or break a PDF into one file per page. Everything happens in your browser — your file is never uploaded anywhere.
What splitting a PDF is good for
Big PDFs are often more than anyone needs. Splitting lets you send just chapter 3 of a report instead of all 120 pages, extract the one signed page from a contract, share a single ticket out of a booking confirmation, or pull the pages of a scanned book that matter to you. It's also the practical way to remove pages: extract everything except the pages you don't want, and the result is your "deleted-pages" version.
| Goal | How |
|---|---|
| Send one chapter or section | Extract range, e.g. pages 12–24 |
| Remove the first (cover) page | Extract pages 2 to the end |
| File each invoice separately | Every page as a separate PDF (ZIP) |
| Rearrange a document | Extract ranges, then recombine with Merge PDF |
Range vs. one-file-per-page
Extract page range gives you a single new PDF containing pages "from" through "to" (inclusive) — perfect when you know exactly which stretch you need. Every page as a separate PDF creates one small PDF per page and bundles them into a ZIP file, which is handy when each page is its own document, like a stack of scanned receipts or individually issued certificates.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded to your server?
No. The file is read and split entirely inside your browser — it never leaves your device, and nothing is stored or logged.
Does splitting change the quality of the pages?
No. Pages are copied into the new files exactly as they are — text stays searchable and images keep their original quality.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
No. Encrypted PDFs can't be opened without the password, so you'll see an error message. Unlock and re-save the file in a PDF viewer first, then split it here.
How large a PDF can I split?
There's no set limit, but the work runs in your browser's memory. Typical documents split instantly; very large scans (hundreds of megabytes) may be slow or fail on low-memory devices, especially in one-file-per-page mode.
Can I extract several separate ranges at once?
Run the tool once per range — the source file stays loaded, so just change the numbers and click split again. To join the pieces into one file afterwards, use our Merge PDF tool.
