How this PDF splitter works
Drop one PDF and every page appears as a picture. Tap the pages you want and press split: your picks come out together as one new document. Pick nothing and every page becomes its own one-page PDF, ready to download individually or as a single zip.
The work happens in your browser. Your document never uploads anywhere, which is exactly what you want when the file is a contract, a bank statement, or a medical report.
Ways people use this
- Pull one signed page out of a long contract so you can send just that page back.
- Break a scanned batch into separate documents. Scanners love producing one giant PDF; splitting gives each document its own file.
- Extract a chapter or section from a report to share without the rest.
- Reverse of merging: if you combined too much, split it apart again.
Selecting pages
Each page shows up as a small preview with a circle in its corner. The circle is the selection switch: click it to pick the page, click again to unpick. For a run of pages, click the first circle and shift-click the last: everything between gets selected. Select all and Clear buttons handle the whole document at once. Clicking the page image itself opens a full-size view, so you can read the content before deciding. The counter above the grid tracks your picks, and the extracted document keeps them in their original order.
Frequently asked questions
Is my document uploaded to a server?
No. The splitting runs inside your browser with a JavaScript PDF library. Disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
Does splitting lower the quality?
No. Pages are copied as they are. Text stays selectable and images keep their resolution.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Not directly. Remove the password first in the application that created the document, then split here.
What happens with a 100-page PDF and nothing selected?
You get 100 single-page PDFs listed below the tool, plus one button that downloads them all as a zip.
Can I see the pages before splitting?
Yes, that's the point: every page renders as a preview, and clicking one opens it at full size. You pick by reading the actual pages, not by guessing page numbers.
I need to combine PDFs instead. Where do I go?
Use our merge tool — the link below the splitter takes you there.
