Overview

About the Split PDF

Need to send only one page of a long contract, or break a scanned bundle into separate documents? This tool splits a PDF either into one file per page or into the exact page ranges you type. Each range becomes its own PDF, ready to download. The original file is never uploaded — splitting runs entirely in your browser.

Step by step

How to use the Split PDF

  1. Choose or drop a single PDF file. The page count is shown once it loads.
  2. Pick "Every page as its own PDF", or "Custom page ranges".
  3. For custom ranges, type pages separated by commas, for example 1-3, 5, 8-10.
  4. Click "Split PDF" and download each new file.

Writing page ranges

Ranges are flexible:

  • "5" creates a PDF containing only page 5.
  • "1-3" creates one PDF with pages 1, 2 and 3.
  • "1-3, 4-6" creates two PDFs.
  • Pages are counted from the first physical page, even if the document prints different page numbers.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Everything happens inside your browser on your own device. Your files are never uploaded, so nobody else can see them, and nothing is kept after you close the page.

Can I extract pages into a single file?

Yes. Enter one range, such as 2-4, and you get one PDF with just those pages.

Will the quality change?

No. Pages are copied as they are, without re-compressing text or images.
