Split PDF files

Separate a PDF by page ranges, or pick exact pages to extract — without uploading it anywhere. Everything runs in your browser. Free, no account.

Open your network tab while splitting: zero requests. Your document stays yours.

How to split a PDF

  1. Select or drop your PDF — it's read by your browser, never sent to a server.
  2. Choose how to split — Range mode for chapters ("pages 1–12, 13–40…"), Pages mode to extract every page or hand-pick a few from the thumbnails.
  3. Split → download — one output downloads as a PDF; several arrive together as a zip. Pages are copied exactly, nothing re-compressed.

Splitting is usually done on documents that matter — contracts, statements, reports. Most online splitters make you upload them first. This one runs on the same in-browser engine as our PDF merger, PDF to Markdown converter, and PDF chat — the file never leaves your machine.

Splitting PDFs, answered honestly.

No. The splitting happens entirely inside your browser — the file is read, split, and downloaded on your own device. Open your browser's network tab while splitting: zero requests. Most online PDF splitters upload your document to their servers first; this one is different by architecture.
Choose Range mode, set 'from' and 'to' page numbers, and add as many ranges as you need. Each range becomes its own PDF — or tick 'Merge all ranges into one PDF' to combine them into a single file.
Yes. Switch to Pages mode and either extract all pages or click page thumbnails to hand-pick them. Each selected page becomes its own one-page PDF, delivered together as a zip.
Add multiple ranges in Range mode — one output PDF per range, downloaded together as a zip. Splitting a 100-page report into chapters takes seconds, on your device.
Free, no account, no watermark, no daily limit. The practical size limit is your computer's memory, because the work happens locally.
No. Pages are copied into the new files exactly as they are — text, images, and vectors untouched, nothing re-compressed.
