Each page becomes its own PDF. Multiple files download as a ZIP.
Example: 1-3,5,8-10. Each range becomes its own PDF.
The last file keeps any leftover pages.
Click thumbnails to select pages. Shift-click to select a range. Selected pages become one new PDF, in page order.
How to split a PDF

Download a PDF if there is one file, or a ZIP if there are several.
About this tool
PDF Splitter runs entirely in your browser. The file you choose stays on this device; we do not upload it, and you do not need an account.
After you pick a PDF you will see its page thumbnails, the file name, the page count, and the file size. You can then choose one of four modes: one PDF per page, custom page ranges such as 1-3,5,8-10 (each range becomes its own file), extract the pages you click into one new PDF, or split every N pages (the last part keeps any leftover pages).
If you get more than one file, they are packed into a ZIP. A one-page PDF that you split into individual pages downloads as a single PDF, not a ZIP. Output names follow the original file, for example report-page-3.pdf or report-pages-1-3.pdf.
Password-protected PDFs are refused. We do not ask for or remove passwords. Scanned pages can still be split because they are PDF pages; this tool does not do OCR. The site does not merge PDFs, compress them, convert them to images, or edit page content.
Very large files can exhaust browser memory. A file of 50 MB or 100 pages shows a warning first. A file of 100 MB or 500 pages is refused so the tab is less likely to crash.
Questions
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The file is read and split in your browser. It is not uploaded to our servers, and you do not need an account.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
No. If a file is encrypted, the tool stops and explains why. We do not ask for a password and we do not remove one.
Can I split a scanned PDF?
Yes. A scan is still a PDF made of pages, so it can be split or extracted by page. This tool does not do OCR and does not turn a scan into editable text.
How large a PDF can I split?
Limits exist so the browser tab does not crash; there is no account or daily cap. Files of 50 MB or more, or 100 pages or more, show a warning first — you can still continue. Files of 100 MB or more, or 500 pages or more, are refused. A phone may run out of memory sooner than a desktop. If splitting fails, try a smaller file or close other tabs.
Does this site merge, compress, or convert PDFs?
No. This site only splits a PDF or extracts pages. It does not merge files, compress them, convert them to images, or edit the contents of a page.
Will bookmarks, links, or forms still work after a split?
The tool copies the original page objects; it does not rasterize pages into images. Bookmarks, cross-page links, and interactive forms may not stay complete after a split. Check the downloaded file if those matter to you.
What split modes can I use here?
You can turn every page into its own PDF, type custom ranges such as 1-3,5,8-10 (one PDF per range), extract the pages you select into one new PDF, or split every N pages. Use the links below if you already know which of those you need.
