Split a PDF

Split a PDF is a free tool that runs entirely in your browser, with no data ever sent to a server. Extract a page range, or split a document into one file per page.

Two ways to split a PDF

Extracting a range keeps a single new file, with only the requested pages, in the order given: writing "5-3" before "8" places range 3 to 5 before page 8 in the result. Splitting all produces one independent file per page, useful for sending a document page by page or reusing a single one.

The range syntax

Separate numbers with commas. A range is written with a hyphen, for example "1-3, 7, 10-12" extracts pages 1, 2, 3, 7, 10, 11, and 12. Numbers start at 1, like in any PDF viewer.

What this tool does not do

This tool does not support password-protected PDFs. Merging does not preserve bookmarks or form fields, and compression only affects images already in JPEG format inside the document.

Frequently asked questions

Can I repeat a page?

Yes: "1, 1, 2" produces a document where the first page appears twice in a row.

What happens if my PDF is password-protected?

The tool clearly reports it rather than producing a corrupted file: the protection must first be removed in the software that applied it.

Are my files sent to a server?

No: processing happens entirely in your browser, on your device. No file is ever transmitted to a server, at any point.
