Split PDF by page or range

Put every page in its own PDF, or pick ranges like 1-3 and 8-10. Nothing gets uploaded.

Your files never leave your device

Drop your PDF here

One PDF at a time, up to 100 MB and 500 pages.

How to use it

  1. Drop your PDF here or tap "Choose file".
  2. Pick "One PDF per page", or pick "By ranges" and type them, like 1-3, 5, 8-10.
  3. Check how many PDFs you'll get and tap "Split PDF".
  4. Download the PDF, or a ZIP with all of them if there are several.

How it works

Your browser opens the PDF with pdf.js, Mozilla's open-source PDF reader, the one Firefox uses. The split runs on pdf-lib, also open source, and both libraries are served by this site. Your file isn't uploaded, stored or logged anywhere.

Each new PDF holds only its own pages: the rest aren't hidden, they're left out of the file. It's named after the original plus its pages, like report-p3.pdf or report-p1-4.pdf.

Bookmarks don't carry over to the new files. If the PDF has a form, its fields look the same but can't be filled in anymore.

Example

You scanned your papers for an apartment application, and they all ended up in one 12-page file, scan.pdf. The landlord's portal wants your ID, pay stubs and bank statements as separate files.

You choose "By ranges" and type 1, 2-3, 4-12. You get a ZIP with scan-p1.pdf, scan-p2-3.pdf and scan-p4-12.pdf, one for each upload box.

Frequently asked questions

How do I separate the pages of a PDF?

Choose "One PDF per page" and tap "Split PDF". Each page becomes its own file, and they all come in one ZIP.

How do I extract just a few pages from a PDF?

Choose "By ranges" and type the pages you want, like 4-7. A single range gives you one PDF, with no ZIP.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. It's split in your browser, and the file isn't uploaded, stored or logged.

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

No. A PDF with a password or locked editing is refused with a message, because the tool never removes protections. Remove them in the app that made it and try again.

Is there a file size or page limit?

Yes: up to 100 MB and 500 pages per PDF. If opening it takes over a minute, or splitting it over two, it stops and tells you.

Do I need to sign up or pay?

No. It's free, there's no account, and your files come out with no watermark.
