How to split a PDF into multiple files
- Add your PDF. Drop the file on the box above or tap to choose it (up to 25 MB and 50 pages).
- Pick a split mode. Choose Page range to extract some pages, or Every page (ZIP) to separate all pages.
- Enter the pages (Page range only), for example From 3 To 5.
- Click Split. The new file is built in your browser in a few seconds.
- Download. You get one PDF, or a ZIP with page-1.pdf, page-2.pdf and so on. Your original PDF is not changed.
Split modes
Split by page range
Keep one continuous block of pages, such as chapter 2 or pages 10–14, as a single new PDF.
Split every page
Break a PDF into separate one-page files, packed in a ZIP so you download everything at once.
Extract one page
Set From and To to the same number (for example 4 and 4) to pull out a single page, like one certificate from a scanned set.
Need pages that are not next to each other? Remove the rest with Organize PDF, or split every page and keep the ones you need. Sideways scans can be fixed first with Rotate PDF.
Private by design: your PDF is not uploaded
This PDF splitter runs entirely in your browser using the open-source pdf-lib library. Pages are copied on your own phone or computer, so the file never reaches our server and there is no sign-up or watermark. Splitting copies pages as they are; it does not compress them. If an email or portal has a size limit, use Compress PDF afterwards.

Split PDF FAQ
How do I split a PDF into multiple files?
Upload the PDF, choose Every page (ZIP) and click Split. Each page becomes its own PDF (page-1.pdf, page-2.pdf, …) inside one ZIP download. To get only some pages, choose Page range instead.
How do I extract only a few pages from a PDF?
Choose Page range, type the first and last page you need (for example 3 to 5), click Split and download. You get one new PDF with just those pages; the original file is not changed.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. Splitting runs in your browser with JavaScript, so the PDF stays on your device. Nothing is sent to our server.
Is there a page or size limit?
Yes. Up to 50 pages and 25 MB per file, to keep splitting fast in the browser on phones and laptops.
Can I pick pages that are not next to each other?
Page range takes one continuous range. For pages like 1, 4 and 7, use Organize PDF to delete the pages you do not need, or split every page to a ZIP and keep the ones you want.
Does splitting reduce the file size?
Each new file only holds its own pages, so it is usually smaller than the full PDF, but pages are copied as they are and not compressed. Use Compress PDF if a portal or email has a size limit.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Not directly. Remove the password first with Unlock PDF (you must know the password), then split it.
