Add your PDF
Drop the document onto the box above, click to browse, or paste it from your clipboard. The tool reads it locally and tells you how many pages it found — that count powers the live validation of your ranges.
-
Choose how to split
Custom ranges give you full control: “1-3, 5, 8-10” produces exactly three files. Every N pages cuts the document into equal chunks. Or burst it completely with one file per page.
-
Check the live summary
As you type ranges, the tool confirms how many files will be created and flags typos or pages that don’t exist — before anything runs. No surprises, no wasted work.
-
Click “Split PDF”
The document is divided on your device, page by page. A progress bar tracks each part; nothing is uploaded while it happens.
-
Download the ZIP
All parts arrive in a single ZIP archive, named after your document — “report-pages-1-3.pdf”, “report-page-5.pdf” and so on. Unzip anywhere and the files are ready.

How to Split PDF Files
Why choose our split pdf tool?
Three ways to cut, one tool
Extract the signature page for a client, chunk a 200-page manual for a class, or burst a scanned batch into individual pages. Whatever the job, the splitting logic is already here.
Ranges with a safety net
The input understands “1-3”, “5-”, “-4” and plain “7”, in any order, with overlaps allowed. It validates against the real page count as you type, so a fat-fingered “55” in a 12-page document is caught instantly.
Private by construction
Splitting happens inside your browser on a background worker thread. Contracts, medical records, legal filings — they are never uploaded, stored, or seen by any server.
Pages keep their exact quality
Each part is assembled by copying pages, not re-rendering them. Text stays selectable, scans keep their resolution, and vector graphics remain vector.
No limits, no watermark, no account
Split a 500-page archive or a two-page note — the cost to you is identical: nothing. No sign-up, no daily quota, no branding stamped on your files.
Tips for split pdf
- Splitting before sharing? Remove pages you don’t need first — smaller parts travel better by email.
- “1-3, 3-5” is legal: page 3 lands in both parts. Useful when a page belongs to two sections.
- Splitting a scanned document? “One file per page” plus a rename pass is the fastest way to build a page archive.
- Re-splitting a part works: the tool recognizes its own “-part-1” suffixes and doesn’t stack them.
- Password-protected files must be unlocked first — the browser cannot copy pages it cannot read.
split pdf — Frequently asked questions
How do I split a PDF into separate files?
Add the document, type the ranges you want (for example “1-3, 5, 8-10”), and click Split. Each range becomes its own PDF, and all of them are packaged into one ZIP download.
Can I split a PDF every N pages automatically?
Yes — pick “Every N pages” and set the chunk size. A 20-page document split every 5 pages yields four files of five pages each, named by their page ranges.
What is the maximum file size?
There’s no built-in cap. The practical limit is your device’s memory: splitting runs entirely in the browser, so a phone handles large files less comfortably than a laptop. Everything above 150 MB triggers a gentle warning.
Are my documents uploaded anywhere?
No. The split runs locally in your browser using a Web Worker. Your document never leaves your device — you can watch it work with your network disconnected.
Will splitting reduce the quality?
No. Pages are copied byte-for-byte into each part. Fonts, images and vectors are untouched; a part containing page 7 is pixel-identical to page 7 of the original.
Can I split one page into two?
Not with this tool — splitting here means dividing a document into files at page boundaries. Cutting a single page in half is a crop operation, planned for a later phase.
