Open a PDF, preview its pages and split it into single pages, custom ranges such as 1-3, 4, 5-8, or equal groups of N pages. Multiple results download together as a ZIP.

How to split a PDF

  1. Choose the PDF. Page thumbnails appear.
  2. Pick Every page, Custom ranges (for example 1-3, 4, 5-8) or Every N pages.
  3. Press Split PDF. One file downloads directly; several come in a ZIP.

Writing page ranges

Separate ranges with commas. 1-3 means pages 1 to 3, 5 is a single page, and 7- means page 7 to the end. Each range becomes its own PDF, so 1-3, 4-6 creates two files.

Split or extract?

Splitting creates several files. If you only want some pages in one new file, use Extract PDF pages; to drop a few pages and keep the rest, use Remove PDF pages.

Frequently asked questions

Does splitting reduce quality?

No. Pages are copied exactly; nothing is re-rendered.

Can I split a large PDF?

Yes. Documents with hundreds of pages work; thumbnails are drawn smaller to keep it fast.

Are my PDF files safe?

Yes. The PDF is read and written by JavaScript libraries (pdf-lib and Mozilla pdf.js) inside your browser. The file is never uploaded, so confidential contracts, bank statements and ID scans stay on your device.
