Split PDF Online
Extract page ranges or split a document every N pages into separate PDFs. The file is processed in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

This split PDF tool extracts pages or page ranges from a document and saves each selection as its own PDF. Enter ranges like 1-3, 7, or split the whole file every N pages — the processing happens locally in your browser.
Splitting copies the original pages into new documents, so text stays sharp and selectable and nothing is re-compressed. Every output gets a name that tells you what is inside, like report-pages-1-3.pdf.
Why Use This Split PDF Tool?
- Private by design — the PDF never leaves your browser
- Two modes — exact page ranges, or automatic chunks every N pages
- Original quality — pages are copied, not re-rendered or re-compressed
- Free, no signup, no limits on how often you use it
- Clear file names — every part is named after the pages it contains
How to Split a PDF — 3 Steps
- Drop your PDF into the box above and wait for the page count to appear.
- Choose Page ranges and type them like 1-3, 7 — or choose Every N pages and set how many pages each part should contain.
- Press the blue Split PDF button and download each part.
When Splitting a PDF Beats Copy-Pasting Pages
Splitting comes up more often than you would think. A 90-page tender document where only pages 12–31 are your responsibility. A scanned book chapter you want as separate files per chapter. A merged bank statement that needs to go back to one statement per month. Print shops asking for "just the cover, separate from the body". In each case you want a clean new PDF that contains only the chosen pages, not a screenshot or a print-to-PDF copy.
The range syntax is deliberately plain: 1-3, 7 produces one PDF with pages 1 to 3 and a second PDF with page 7. You can list as many ranges as you like, and overlapping or unordered entries are cleaned up for you. The every-N mode is for even division: a 60-page file split every 10 pages comes back as six files, named pages-1-10 through pages-51-60. If the last chunk is smaller, it still ships — a 64-page file split every 10 pages produces a final 4-page part.
Because the split happens in your browser, the original document — a contract, an exam paper, a client's invoice — never touches anyone's server. That is the main reason to prefer a browser-based splitter over upload-and-wait sites, and it is also faster: there is no upload or download round-trip for the source file, only the small output files travel from your browser to your disk.
One honest limitation: navigation bookmarks (the table-of-contents panel in Acrobat) refer to specific pages of the original document, and a split part contains only a slice of it, so bookmarks generally do not carry over. The pages themselves — text, links that live on the page, images, forms — are copied as-is.
Frequently Asked Questions
Choose the Page ranges mode and type 5-10. You get one PDF containing exactly those pages. Add more ranges separated by commas to extract several parts in one go.
Yes — set the Every N pages mode to 1, or list each page number individually in the ranges mode. Every page comes back as its own PDF file.
No. The file is read by your browser and split in memory. Only you ever see the pages.
Not until it is unlocked. Run it through our Unlock PDF tool with the password you know, then split the unlocked copy.
Usually not — bookmarks point to positions in the full document, which a partial extract does not contain. Text, images and page content are copied intact.
No. Pages are copied from the original file with their fonts and images untouched. There is no re-rendering step.
Yes. The tool works in mobile Safari and Chrome. After splitting you get several files — mobile browsers may ask permission to download multiple files, which you should allow.
