PDF Splitter
Split a PDF into separate files by page range, every N pages, or one PDF per page — then download them individually or as a ZIP.
Drag & drop a PDF here, or click to browse
No uploads. Your files stay on your device.
Separate ranges with commas — each range becomes its own PDF. Example:
1-3, 5, 8-10
How it works
Drop a PDF and pick how you want it cut up: custom page ranges like
1-3, 5, 8-10 (one new PDF per range), a fixed chunk size such as every 2 pages,
or one PDF per page. The split runs the moment you change an option, and every new file keeps
the original page content, size and orientation — pages are copied, never re-rendered, so
nothing is degraded.
Everything happens inside your browser with the pdf-lib library: your document is read with the File API and the new PDFs are assembled in memory, so the file is never uploaded to a server. Download the parts one at a time, or grab them all as a ZIP that is also built locally on your device. Password-protected PDFs have to be unlocked in your PDF reader first.
Frequently asked questions
How do I split a PDF into multiple files?
Drop your PDF on the tool and pick a split method. 'Custom page ranges' lets you type something like 1-3, 5, 8-10 — each comma-separated range becomes its own PDF. 'Every N pages' cuts the document into equal chunks (every 2 pages, every 10 pages, and so on), and 'One PDF per page' extracts every page as a separate file. The result list updates as you type, and you can download the parts one by one or all together as a ZIP.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The file is read straight from your device with the browser's File API, and the new PDFs are assembled in memory using the pdf-lib library that ships with the page. Nothing is sent anywhere, there is no account, no file-size cap and no daily limit — and once the page has loaded it keeps working offline. That makes it safe for contracts, invoices, bank statements and scanned documents.
Does splitting reduce the quality of the pages?
No. Pages are copied object-for-object into the new documents rather than re-rendered or re-compressed, so text stays selectable, fonts stay embedded, and images, page size and orientation are identical to the original. Each output file only carries the resources its own pages need, so the parts usually add up to roughly the size of the source PDF. Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked in your PDF reader first, since the tool cannot open encrypted files.
