Split a PDF
Separate a PDF into individual pages or extract a page range.PDF & DocumentsSplit PDF
Extract selected pages into separate PDF files. A single page downloads directly; several pages come as a ZIP.
Use "all", single pages like 1,3, or ranges like 2-5. Page numbers are 1-based.
About this tool
Sometimes you only need page 4, or you want every page as its own file. This tool reads the document locally, lets you list the pages you want, and writes each selected page to a separate PDF.
How to use the Split PDF tool
- Choose a PDF. Select a single PDF file. Its header is checked before anything is processed.
- Pick the pages. Enter "all", individual pages such as 1,3, or ranges such as 2-5. Page numbers are 1-based.
- Download. Click Split PDF. Each selected page becomes its own file; several pages are packaged into a ZIP.
Supported formats

Inputs are validated before anything is processed. Invalid values and unsupported files are rejected with a clear error instead of failing silently.
Frequently asked questions
How are multiple results delivered?
When you select more than one page, the output files are bundled into one ZIP archive so you can download them together.
What if I enter a page past the end?
The tool reports the document's real page count and asks for a valid range instead of silently returning an empty file.
Does splitting re-compress the pages?
No. Pages are copied into fresh documents, keeping the original content streams.
Can I split encrypted PDFs?
No, password-protected documents are rejected with a clear error.

No account is required and no file is ever uploaded. See the privacy policy for details about analytics and the limited data this site stores.
Known limitations
- Encrypted or password-protected PDFs are not supported.
- Form fields, annotations and digital signatures are not carried over to the new files.
- Splitting a very long document creates many files and uses memory proportional to the source size.
