What page-range formats can I type?

Use simple ranges and lists such as 1-3, 5, 8-10; the tool reads them as inclusive, 1-based page numbers.

Can I get one PDF per page automatically?

Yes — choose the burst option and every page becomes its own file, packaged together in a single zip download.

Are the original page contents altered when I split?

No. Each extracted page carries over unchanged, including its text layer, images, and dimensions.

How are multiple output files delivered?

They are compressed into one zip archive in the tab so you download a single bundle instead of many separate clicks.

Split a PDF into separate files, in your browser

Splitting a PDF here lets you carve a long document into smaller files: pull out a range like pages 4 to 9, chop it into fixed chunks, or burst every page into its own file. Each piece is built locally on your machine and handed straight back to you, never traveling across the internet to be processed.

Choose a PDF, pick how you want it divided, and download the resulting files (zipped when there are several).

Drag a PDF here to split it

One PDF in; one or more PDFs out.

How this works

What happens when you use this tool

Your chosen file is parsed on this page with pdf-lib, which selects the pages you asked for and writes each group into its own fresh PDF.

When a split produces more than one file, they are bundled into a single .zip with the fflate library so you get one tidy download.

What this tool can't do

Encrypted PDFs cannot be divided: A file locked with a password will not open for splitting, and this tool will not attempt to get around that protection — open it with the password in a reader first.
Bookmarks pointing across the cut may break: Internal links and outline bookmarks that jump to a page now living in a different output file naturally stop resolving, since their destination is no longer in the same document.
