PDF Splitter

A PDF splitter that runs in your browser. It copies the pages you ask for into a new file. The pages come across untouched, so text stays selectable and quality does not change. Leave the page box empty and every page becomes its own file.

    What this tool does for you

    The parts worth knowing before you start.

    Nothing is re-rendered

    This PDF splitter copies pages as they are. Text is still text and can still be searched.

    Say it the way you would say it

    Type 1-3, 5, 8- and it does what you mean. An open-ended range runs to the last page.

    Or split every page at once

    Leave the box empty and a twenty-page file comes back as twenty numbered files.

    The document stays with you

    People use a PDF splitter on contracts, statements and medical records, so this one never uploads them.

    When people use it

    Sending one page of a contract

    The other side needs the signature page, not the other forty.

    A form wants each document separately

    Applications often ask for passport, payslip and bank letter as separate uploads, but you scanned them as one file.

    Dropping the pages you do not need

    Cover sheets, blank backs and terms pages make a file bigger and harder to read.

    Questions about PDF Splitter

    Does splitting change quality?

    No. Pages are copied across without being re-rendered, so the output is identical to those pages in the original.

    How do I write the page numbers?

    Commas and ranges: 1-3, 5, 8- means pages one to three, page five, and page eight to the end. Numbering starts at 1.

    What if I leave it empty?

    Every page becomes its own numbered file.

    Is the file uploaded to the PDF splitter?

    No. The PDF splitter runs in your browser, so the whole thing happens on your own machine.

    Can it split a password-protected PDF?

    Not while it is locked. Remove the password first.

    How do I extract pages from a PDF without uploading it?

    Choose the PDF, then type the pages to keep in the Pages to keep box, for example 1-3, 5, 8-. Press Start. Everything you listed is copied into one new PDF in your browser and nothing is sent to a server. The file is named after the original with the first and last page you kept, so pages 3 to 7 of contract.pdf come back as contract-p3-7.pdf.

    Can I get each page range as a separate file?

    Not in one run. Whatever you type in the box, every page you list goes into a single PDF. If you need pages 1-3 and pages 8-10 as two files, run the split twice, once with each range. The other option is to leave the box empty, which gives you every page as its own file, and then keep only the ones you need and delete the rest.

    Can I reorder pages or repeat a page when splitting a PDF?

    No. The pages always come out in their original order, and each page appears once. If you type 5, 1 you get page 1 followed by page 5, and typing 2, 2 gives you page 2 once. To change the order, split the pages out as separate files, then put them back together in the order you want with Combine PDF Free on this site.

    What happens if I type a page number that does not exist?

    Numbers past the end are ignored. A range like 8-50 on a twenty-page file stops at page twenty, and 8- always runs to the last page. If nothing you typed matches a real page, the file is marked That range does not work and no output is made for it. Page numbering starts at 1, not 0, so the cover page of most documents is page 1.

    Can I split several PDFs at once?

    Yes. Add all of them and press Start. The same page box applies to every file, so typing 1 takes the first page of each one, and leaving it empty splits every file into single pages. When more than one file comes out, you get one Download all as zip button instead of a string of separate downloads.

    How are the files named when I split every page?

    Each page is saved under the original name plus a page number padded to at least two digits, so report.pdf becomes report-01.pdf, report-02.pdf and so on. That keeps them in the right order when your computer sorts them by name. All of them are packed into one zip called split-pdf.zip, which saves you from approving a separate download for every page.
