PDF Splitter
A PDF splitter separates one PDF into smaller files. This free tool works in your browser and offers four modes: one file per page, extract chosen pages into a single PDF, split by custom ranges such as 1-3, 4-6, or split every N pages. You then download each file; nothing is uploaded.
Free, no signup. Runs entirely in your browser; files and text are not uploaded.
How to use the PDF Splitter
- Click "Select a PDF file" or drop a PDF onto the upload area.

- For extract or custom ranges, type pages such as 1-3, 5, 8- (8- means page 8 to the end).

Frequently asked questions
How do I extract only some pages from a PDF?
Choose "Extract pages into one PDF", enter the pages, for example 2, 5-7, and click Split PDF. You get one file containing just those pages in document order.
How do I split a PDF into several files by range?
Choose "Split by custom ranges" and enter ranges separated by commas, such as 1-3, 4-6, 7-. Each range becomes its own PDF.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Splitting is done by JavaScript in your browser, so the file stays on your device.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
No. Remove the password in your PDF reader first, then split the unlocked copy.
