Split one PDF (Portable Document Format) into several files. Cut every page into its own file, split every set number of pages, or type custom ranges such as 1-3, 5, 8-10 so each range becomes its own PDF. The split runs in your browser, so your file is never uploaded.

How to use

  1. Drop a PDF onto the box, or click to choose one from your device. Page thumbnails appear so you can see what you are cutting.
  2. Pick a mode: every page, every N pages, or custom ranges.
  3. For every N pages, set how many pages go in each file. For custom ranges, type groups such as 1-3, 5, 8-10.
  4. Click Split PDF to build a separate file for each group.
  5. Download all the files as one zip, or save each PDF on its own.

Examples

  • A 20 page report split on every page becomes 20 separate PDF files, one page each.
  • A 12 page contract split with the custom range 1-6, 7-12 becomes two files, the first half and the second half.
  • A 50 page scan split every 10 pages becomes 5 files of 10 pages each.

FAQs

Does my PDF get uploaded to a server?
No. The split runs entirely in your browser. The file is read locally and never sent anywhere, and the original on your device stays untouched. The tool builds separate new PDFs that contain only the pages you chose.
How do I write a custom page range?
Pages are counted from 1, and each range is inclusive. Type groups separated by commas, such as 1-3, 5, 8-10. That makes three files: pages 1 to 3, page 5, and pages 8 to 10. A single number, or the same start and end, puts one page in its own file. One range, such as 1-5, still produces a single file.
What happens if I enter a page number that does not exist?
The tool checks every range against the real page count and shows a clear message instead of producing a broken file. For example it will tell you the document has only 6 pages if you ask for page 9. A reversed range such as 8-3 is also rejected until you write the smaller page first.
Why will my password protected PDF not split?
Encrypted PDFs cannot be read without the password. Open the file in a PDF viewer, remove the protection, save a copy, then split that copy.
Can I split a PDF into multiple files at once?
Yes. Every page, every N pages, and custom ranges each produce one file per group. Download them together as a zip, or save each PDF on its own. A single range still gives you one file, which is the same result as extracting that range.
How do I split every page into a separate PDF?
Choose the every page mode and click Split PDF. A 20 page file becomes 20 one page PDFs. Download the set as one zip, or save any page on its own. Very large files, and splits that create hundreds of files, use more browser memory and may be slow or fail. If that happens, use every N pages to make fewer files.
