How to use the Split PDF
- Drop a PDF on the box or click to choose it; page thumbnails appear.
- Choose Extract pages and click thumbnails or type ranges — or choose to split every page or every N pages.
- Click Split & download. Multiple files are delivered as a ZIP.
Three ways to split
| Mode | Result | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Extract pages | One new PDF with the pages you pick, in the order you type them | 1-2, 10 → a 3-page PDF |
| Every page | One PDF per page, in a ZIP | A 12-page scan → 12 files |
| Every N pages | Equal chunks, in a ZIP | N = 2 → pages 1–2, 3–4, … |
Page range syntax
5— a single page2-7— pages 2 to 710-— page 10 to the end;-3— the first three pages9-6— pages 9 to 6 in reverse order- Combine with commas:
1, 3-4, 10-
Pages keep their text, images and quality; nothing is rasterised. To delete pages while keeping the rest, Organize PDF is quicker; to combine files, use Merge PDF.
Private by design
Most online PDF services upload your document to their servers. This tool processes the file entirely in your browser with open-source libraries (pdf-lib and PDF.js), so contracts, invoices, bank statements and IDs never leave your device. It works offline once the page has loaded, and there are no file-count limits, watermarks or sign-ups.
Tools that pair well with the Split PDF
- PDF to JPG — Turn every page of a PDF into a high-quality JPG or PNG image — for slides, social posts, thumbnails or apps that do not accept PDF.
- Rotate PDF — Fix sideways or upside-down scans: rotate individual pages or all of them, check the thumbnails and save the corrected PDF.
- Add Page Numbers to PDF — Number the pages of any PDF in seconds — bottom or top, left, centre or right, with formats like Page 3 of 12 and an optional unnumbered cover page.
- JPG to PDF — Turn photos, scans and screenshots into a single PDF.
Frequently asked questions
Are my PDF files uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser; the files never leave your device.
How do I save just one page of a PDF?
Choose Extract pages, type the page number (for example
4) or click its thumbnail, and download.Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied unchanged into the new files.
Can I use a password-protected PDF?
No. Encrypted PDFs must be unlocked first — open the file in your PDF reader with the password and save or “print to PDF” an unprotected copy.
