About Split PDF
This PDF splitter lets you break a PDF document into smaller files or extract specific pages. Upload a PDF, choose which pages you need, and download the results - all without uploading anything to a server.
Two Ways to Split
Use Extract Pages mode to pick specific pages by number. Enter page numbers separated by commas, or use dashes for ranges (e.g., 1,3,5-8). Use Split Every N Pages to break the document into equal chunks - useful for dividing a long report into chapters.
How It Works
The tool reads your PDF locally, shows you the total page count, and lets you choose a split method. When you click the button, it creates new PDF files containing only the pages you selected. Each file downloads automatically.

If you need to combine files instead, use the Merge PDF tool. To rearrange pages within a single document, try the PDF Page Reorder tool.
All processing happens client-side in your browser. Your files are never uploaded, making this safe for confidential documents.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I extract specific pages from a PDF?
Upload your PDF, select "Extract Pages" mode, and enter the page numbers you want. Use commas for individual pages (1,3,5) and dashes for ranges (5-8). The tool creates a new PDF with just those pages.
Can I split a PDF into equal parts?
Yes. Choose "Split Every N Pages" mode and enter the number of pages per file. For example, splitting a 10-page PDF every 2 pages creates 5 separate files.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser using JavaScript. Your PDF never leaves your device.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no hard limit, but since processing happens in your browser, very large PDFs (over 100 MB) may be slow. For most documents it takes just a few seconds.
Will the split PDFs keep the original formatting?
Yes. Each page is copied exactly as it appears in the original, including text, images, and layout.
