Split PDF
Drop a PDF, tick the pages you want on a thumbnail grid, and get back either a single PDF with just those pages or a ZIP holding one file per page. Nothing is uploaded — the whole job runs on your device.

One PDF, up to 100 MB. Password-protected PDFs are supported.
Splitting runs entirely in your browser — your PDF never leaves your device.
Pages are copied as-is, so the output is lossless and never re-rendered.
How to use
- Drop your PDF into the box or click “Choose PDF” (up to 100 MB and 2,000 pages).
- Choose a mode: one file per page, one PDF with the pages you selected, or one file every N pages.
- Tick pages in the grid, or type a range such as 1-3,5,8-10 — Select all, Invert, Odd and Even do the bulk work for you.
- Check the “N pages will be extracted” line, then split. Encrypted files ask for the password right there in the page.
- Download the PDF, or the ZIP — the output list shows every file name inside it.
Details
Three modes cover nearly every real request. One file per page hands you 47 separate PDFs — the right shape when each page is a different invoice, certificate or scan that has to be filed on its own. Extract the selected pages copies just the pages you ticked into one new PDF, which is what you want for pulling a chapter, a drawing or a single signed page out of a long report. One file every N pages cuts the document into equal chunks and lets the last one be shorter: 10 pages with N=3 gives 3 + 3 + 3 + 1. The “Invert” switch flips the meaning of your selection, which is the fast way to drop a cover sheet or a stack of blank scans while keeping everything else.
One detail is worth knowing before you split. In extract mode the pages of the output follow the original document order, not the order you typed them in: enter 3,1,2 and the resulting PDF still reads 1, 2, 3. That is deliberate. Reordering pages is a different job, and quietly emitting a shuffled PDF is how people end up sending a contract with its pages out of sequence to a client. If you do need a different order, extract the pages and rearrange them afterwards.
Splitting is usually one step in a longer job, and the next step is often another tool. Putting the pieces back together — a cover page plus the extracted chapter, or 47 single-page invoices merged into one file — is exactly what the merge tool is for, and it keeps page order under your control. If what you actually need is a picture of a page rather than a PDF (a slide for a deck, a chart for a chat message), reach for PDF to images instead of splitting first and converting later.
FAQ
Does splitting reduce the quality of my PDF?
No. Pages are copied into a new document byte for byte — nothing is re-rendered, re-compressed or converted to an image. Text stays selectable, links and vector artwork stay vectors, and the output page count always equals the number of pages you selected. A split PDF is usually only slightly smaller than the source, because splitting does not shrink images.
Can I split a PDF into 50 files at once?
Yes. One file per page mode writes every selected page as its own PDF and packs them into a single ZIP, which is one download instead of fifty. The tool accepts documents up to 2,000 pages and stops you before an attempt that would produce more than 500 output files, because a ZIP with thousands of entries tends to run a browser out of memory rather than help you.
How do I write a page range?
Use commas between entries and a hyphen for a span: 1-3,5,8-10 means pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10. Ordinary spaces, Chinese commas and 、 are accepted as separators too. Anything the tool cannot read — a reversed span like 5-2, a zero, or a page beyond the end of the document — is reported with the exact fragment that caused it, and the line “N pages will be extracted: 1,2,3,5” shows what it understood before you commit.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Yes. When the file is encrypted, a password field appears inline; the password is used locally to decrypt, and never leaves your device or gets stored anywhere. Documents that carry only an owner password (bank statements, some government downloads) open with an empty password, so just submit the field blank. If the password is wrong, the tool says so instead of failing silently.
