Split a PDF into separate files

Get one PDF per page, or one per range you type. The split runs in your browser, so the document never reaches our servers.

    Updated

    To split a PDF, drop it here and choose between two results: every page as its own file, or one file for each range you type. The parts arrive together in a ZIP.

    Nothing is uploaded. Your browser does the splitting, so payslips, court papers and medical letters stay on your device and never reach our servers.

    Single pages or ranges

    With the field empty, a 12-page PDF turns into 12 one-page files. With ranges, you get one file per range: 1-4,5-9,10-12 cuts the same document into three parts. A lone number makes a one-page part, so 1-2,3,4-12 gives a two-page letter, a single form and the remaining nine pages.

    To keep only a few pages, type one range. 15-18 returns a single PDF holding those four pages. Equal chunks take a longer list: for 25-page sections of a 75-page file, enter 1-25,26-50,51-75.

    A number means the page's place in the file, where the first page is 1. That can differ from the number printed in a footer, for example when a report opens with unnumbered title pages. Every part carries the original file name plus its page range, so each unzipped file shows which pages it holds.

    How to split one PDF into several

    1. Drag your PDF, or a folder of PDFs, onto the page.
    2. Type ranges like 1-4,5-9, or leave the field blank to get single pages.
    3. Click Split to start.
    4. Save the ZIP and unpack it.

    A stack of PDFs, one ZIP

    Drop a folder rather than a single file. In the browser there is no batch cap, no daily allowance and no limit on pages. Each PDF can be up to 50 MB free, or 500 MB on Pro, and the pace depends on your device. All parts come back in one ZIP, or you can save them one by one.

    When every file in a batch needs the same cut plus more work afterwards, such as compressing or renaming, build a pipeline. It is free to try on 3 files. Pro runs pipelines on up to 500 files, and credits handle a big one-off run: one credit covers 25 files, and credits never expire.

    What each part keeps

    Pages are copied one to one. We do not touch the text, fonts or images, and copyable text stays copyable, so each part looks exactly like the matching pages of the original. Splitting writes new files and leaves the source PDF as it is.

    Document-wide extras may not make it into the parts: the bookmark list, and any form field that covers the whole file.

    Together, the parts can weigh more than the file you started with. The reason is shared resources: several pages often use the same fonts and pictures, and each part has to carry its own set.

    FAQ

    What about a PDF that asks for a password?

    An encrypted file cannot be split as it is. Remove the password with Unlock PDF, then split the unlocked copy.

    Will a digitally signed PDF stay signed after splitting?

    The page content comes through, but the signature will not show as valid on any of the parts.

    How do I join some of the parts again?

    Put them back together with Merge PDF.
