Split PDF
Break a PDF into smaller files or pull out only the pages you need. See every page as a thumbnail, choose how to split, and download the results — your file never leaves your device.
At a glance
- Four ways to split: by page ranges (one PDF per range), extract pages into a new PDF, every N pages, or every page as its own PDF.
- Page thumbnails show which pages go into each file before you split.
- Pages are copied exactly: text stays selectable, and links, form fields and image quality are unchanged.
- Password-protected PDFs can be split after entering the password; the split files are saved without one.
- Download each PDF separately or all of them in one ZIP.
- Runs entirely in your browser: files are never uploaded.

Features
Everything you need, nothing you don’t
See before you split
Every page is shown as a thumbnail, coloured by the file it will go into, so there are no surprises.
Click to extract
Pick pages by clicking them or typing ranges like 1, 3, 5-7, and save them as one PDF or one file per page.
Flexible ranges
Ranges, open ranges (9- to the end), reversed ranges and odd or even pages — one output file for each.
No quality loss
Pages are copied, not re-rendered, so text, vector graphics and images stay exactly as they were.
Big documents
Split long reports and scanned books into chapters or chunks of any size, then download them as a ZIP.
Private
Statements, contracts and certificates are split on your device — nothing is uploaded or stored.
Page range examples
| You type | You get |
|---|---|
1-3, 4-6, 7-10 | Three PDFs: pages 1–3, 4–6 and 7–10 |
1, 5- | Two PDFs: page 1 alone, and page 5 to the end |
odd, even | Two PDFs: all odd pages, and all even pages |
10-1 | One PDF with pages 10 to 1 in reverse order |
Common uses
- Send only the relevant pages of a long statement or contract.
- Split a scanned bundle of documents (ID, marksheets, certificates) into separate files for an application portal.
- Break a big report or e-book into chapters.
- Save every page of a form or invoice batch as its own PDF.
- Then compress any file that is still too big, or merge pages from several PDFs into one.
