Split PDF
Split a PDF into separate pages or extract a page range into a new file — fast, free and processed in your browser.
About the Split PDF
This free PDF splitter lets you extract specific pages from a PDF or break a document into individual single-page files — all processed directly in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, so it is safe to split confidential contracts, scanned records or bank statements. There is no watermark, no registration and no limit on file size or number of splits.
Splitting is useful whenever you only need part of a document: pulling one chapter out of a long report, extracting the signed page of a contract, or separating a scanned batch into individual documents for a government portal or job application. Type a range like "1-3,7" to extract exactly those pages into a new PDF, or choose "Split every page" to get one PDF per page, neatly packaged in a ZIP.
The extracted pages keep their original size, orientation and quality, because the splitter copies pages losslessly instead of re-rendering them. Combined with the Merge PDF tool, you can rearrange any document: split out the pages you need, then merge them back in a new order.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I extract specific pages from a PDF for free?
Add your PDF, keep the "Extract a page range" mode selected, and type the pages you need using commas and dashes — for example "1-3,7" extracts pages 1, 2, 3 and 7 into one new PDF. Click Extract and download the result. It's free, watermark-free and works entirely in your browser.
Can I split a PDF into separate files for each page?
Yes. Choose "Split every page (ZIP)" mode and the tool creates one single-page PDF for every page in your document, then bundles them into a ZIP archive named after your original file. This is handy for separating scanned batches, invoices or certificates that were scanned into one long PDF.
Is it safe to split confidential or legal PDFs online here?
Yes, because this splitter never uploads your file. All processing runs locally in your browser using JavaScript, so contracts, medical documents and financial statements never leave your device. There are no servers storing copies of your files and no account required — close the tab and nothing remains.
Does splitting reduce the quality of my PDF pages?
No. The splitter copies pages directly from the original file without re-rendering or recompressing them, so text stays selectable, images keep their resolution and the page dimensions are unchanged. The extracted PDF is effectively identical to those pages in the source document.
What page range formats does the splitter accept?
Use commas to list individual pages and dashes for ranges, for example "2,5-9,12". Page numbers are 1-based, matching what you see in any PDF reader. Duplicate or overlapping entries are automatically de-duplicated, and the tool warns you if a page number is beyond the document's page count.
