Split PDF
Extract specific pages from a PDF or split it into equal parts.
What is PDF splitting?
PDF splitting divides a multi-page PDF document into separate smaller files. You might need to extract specific pages, split a document into chapters, or separate a scanned document into individual forms. This tool processes PDFs entirely in your browser — your documents are not uploaded to any server.
Common splitting scenarios include extracting a single page from a long document, splitting by page range (pages 5-10), splitting every N pages (every 2 pages for double-sided printing), and extracting specific non-contiguous pages (pages 1, 3, 7). This tool supports all these modes.
How to use this tool
Upload a PDF file, then choose how to split it: by page range, every N pages, or specific page numbers. The tool shows a preview of each page so you can verify you are extracting the right content. Download the resulting PDF files individually or as a zip archive.
Splitting modes
- Page range — extract a continuous range of pages (e.g., pages 5-10).
- Every N pages — split the document into chunks of N pages each.
- Specific pages — extract individual pages by number (e.g., pages 1, 3, 7, 12).
- Each page — split into individual single-page PDFs.
Privacy and security
This tool processes your PDF entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. No data is sent to any server. Your documents remain completely private. This is especially important for sensitive documents like legal contracts, financial statements, or medical records. After processing, the files exist only in your browser's memory until you download them.
Frequently asked questions
Does splitting affect PDF quality?
No. Splitting a PDF is a structural operation — it separates pages without re-encoding the content. Text remains sharp, images retain their original quality, and vector graphics are preserved exactly. The split files contain the same data as the original, just reorganized into separate documents.
Is there a file size limit?
Since processing happens in your browser, the limit depends on your device's available memory. Most devices can handle PDFs up to 100-200 MB without issues. Very large documents (hundreds of pages with high-resolution images) may be slow on mobile devices. For the best experience with large files, use a desktop browser.
