Split PDF

Choose a PDF, then extract the pages you need or split it into several files. The file never leaves your device.

Runs in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent to a server.

How it works

Your browser reads the PDF, counts its pages and copies the pages you choose into new documents. Page size, orientation, text and images stay exactly as they were. There are three ways to split:

Option Result
Extract pages into one PDF One file with only the pages you list
Save every page as a separate PDF One file per page, in a ZIP
Split every N pages Files of N pages each (the last may be shorter), in a ZIP

Before you split, the tool tells you how many files and pages it will create, and points out any page number that is outside the document.

Writing page ranges

You type Pages
5 Page 5
1-3 Pages 1, 2 and 3
1-3, 5, 9 Pages 1, 2, 3, 5 and 9
8- Page 8 to the last page
-4 The first four pages
10-7 Pages 10, 9, 8 and 7, in that order

Commas or semicolons separate ranges, and spaces are ignored.

What is not kept

Bookmarks (the outline in the sidebar), interactive form fields and digital signatures are not carried over to the new files, because they belong to the original document as a whole. The visible content of every page is kept.

Frequently asked questions

How do I extract specific pages?

Choose "Extract pages into one PDF" and type the pages, for example 1-3, 5, 8- (8- means from page 8 to the end). The pages come out in the order you type them, so 3, 1, 2 also reorders them.

How do I save every page as a separate PDF?

Choose "Save every page as a separate PDF". The pages are packed into a single ZIP file, named after your document with the page number, so you do not get dozens of separate downloads.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The PDF is read and split by your browser on your device, which makes it safe for contracts, statements and other private documents.

Does splitting reduce the quality?

No. Pages are copied as they are, without re-compressing text or images.
