Split PDF
Split PDF files in seconds without installing software. Choose exact pages, custom ranges (optionally merged back into one file), every N pages, split after every even page, or split every page into its own file — with a visual page-by-page preview to guide you — everything processes locally in your browser, so your file never leaves your device.
How It Works
Get Your Result in 4 Simple Steps
Get a clean, usable result in just a few clicks — fast, easy, and completely free.
1
Upload Your PDF File
Drag and drop your PDF into the tool, or click to browse and select the file from your device. No size hassle, no account sign-up, and a thumbnail of every page loads automatically.
2
Choose a Split Mode
Pick Select Pages to grab specific pages one at a time, Custom Ranges for blocks like 1-3 (with an option to merge all ranges back into one file), Every N Pages for equal-size chunks, After Even Pages to split 1-2, 3-4, 5-6…, or Split All to create a separate file for every single page.
3
Set Your Page Options
Enter the exact page numbers you need, a range such as 1-3, or the page count per chunk, depending on which split mode you chose — the page grid updates live with colored badges showing which output file each page will land in, and you can rotate any page before splitting.
4
Download Your Split Files
Review the generated files, then download them — a single resulting file downloads directly as a PDF, while multiple files are bundled into one ZIP download. The entire process runs in your browser, so nothing is ever sent to a server.

Your file is never uploaded to any server at any point — the entire split happens locally in your browser, which matters for confidential contracts, reports, or personal documents.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about this tool.
Split PDF is a browser-based tool that divides a multi-page document into smaller files, either by extracting chosen pages or breaking it into equal chunks. No downloads, installations, or account sign-ups are needed to use it, and results appear almost instantly.
Five modes are available: Select Pages lets you pick individual pages one by one, Custom Ranges uses notation like 1-3,5,8-10 (with an option to merge all ranges into a single file), Every N Pages creates equal-size chunks automatically, After Even Pages splits after every second page (1-2, 3-4, 5-6…), and Split All outputs a separate PDF for every single page in the file.
Yes. Enter specific page numbers or custom ranges, such as 1-3,5,8-10, and the tool extracts exactly those pages into a new file while skipping everything else in the original document. By default each range becomes its own output file, or check "Merge ranges into one PDF" to combine all the ranges you listed into a single document instead.
No. Split PDF keeps fonts, images, charts, and interactive links fully intact in every output file, so each split document looks and behaves exactly like the original source PDF, page for page, with nothing altered or removed.
Yes. Processing happens right in your browser, meaning your file is never uploaded to a server at all — there's nothing transmitted and nothing stored on our end, which is what actually keeps a confidential document private rather than any after-the-fact cleanup.
No installation is required. This tool runs entirely in your web browser — just drag and drop or browse to select your file, then choose one of the five available split modes to get started right away, on any device you own, no account needed.
It's completely free, needs no downloads, and gives you five flexible split modes in one convenient place. Because everything runs locally in your browser, you get fast, secure results without installing or configuring separate PDF software on your computer or phone.

No — if your split produces a single file it downloads directly as a PDF, but if it produces multiple files, they're automatically bundled into one ZIP file so you only need to download once.
Yes — click the rotate icon on any page thumbnail in the page grid to rotate it 90 degrees at a time before you split, which is useful for a page that was scanned sideways or upside down.
