About this tool

The PDF split tool separates a PDF into individual pages or extracts just the pages you need. It runs in your browser and never uploads your PDF. It is the counterpart to merging.

"Split by page" vs "extract a range"

One mode separates the file one page at a time; the other pulls out a specified range like "pages 3 to 5". Use them to distribute a specific chapter from a long document, or to share a single sheet from a stack.

The original is untouched (non-destructive)

The extracted result is produced as a new PDF and the original file stays intact. You can try different ranges as often as you like, so preparing just the required pages for submission is worry-free.

Content, size, and orientation are preserved

Each page keeps its content, layout, size, and orientation, and the extracted pages become the new PDF as-is. There is no degradation from re-encoding.

Remove passwords first

Encrypted PDFs may not load. Remove the password protection first before trying to split a protected file.

How to use

  1. Select a PDF to see its page count.
  2. Use "Split all pages" to get one PDF per page.
  3. Or specify a from/to range to extract.

FAQ

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Splitting happens entirely in your browser and the loaded PDF is never sent externally. Even confidential materials or documents with personal data are handled on your device, so it is safe.

What is the difference between splitting by page and extracting pages?

Splitting by page separates the file one page at a time, while extracting lets you pick a range such as "pages 3 to 5" and pull just that out. Use whichever suits your task.

Is the original PDF modified?

The original file is left intact, and the extracted result is produced as a new PDF. You can safely try different ranges as often as you like.

Does it change page content or size?

No. Each page keeps its content, layout, size, and orientation, and the extracted pages become the new PDF as-is.

Can I split password-protected PDFs?

Encrypted PDFs may not load. Remove the password protection first before trying to split a protected file.

Can it handle large PDFs?

Processing happens within your device memory. Very large files with many pages may be slow depending on your device performance.
