How to split a PDF into separate files online

SplitPDF lets you separate PDF pages, extract pages from a PDF, or divide a PDF file into smaller documents in four simple steps — without installing software or uploading anything.

  1. 01

    Add your PDF

    Drag & drop a PDF into the upload zone or click to browse. It opens instantly on your device.

  2. 02

    Choose a mode

    Extract custom page ranges, split every N pages, or extract all pages into separate files.

  3. 03

    Pick pages

    Click thumbnails in the preview grid or type ranges such as 1-3, 5, 8-10.

  4. 04

    Download

    Click Split & Download to get one PDF, or a ZIP archive when several files are created.

Three ways to divide a PDF file

Extract custom page ranges

Extract pages from a PDF by number. Type 1-3, 5, 8-10 to pull out exactly the pages you need, then merge them into one PDF, save one PDF per range, or one PDF per page. Ranges keep the order you type, so 5, 1-3 also reorders pages.

Split every N pages

Break long reports, scanned batches or exam papers into equal parts. Choose 2 and a 10-page document becomes five 2-page PDFs. If the page count doesn't divide evenly, the last file holds the remaining pages.

Extract all pages

Separate every PDF page into its own file in one click. All single-page PDFs are numbered and bundled in a ZIP archive so you can share, sign or file them individually.

Why use SplitPDF — the free PDF page splitter

100% private

Your PDF is processed with JavaScript in your browser. No server uploads, no storage, no tracking of document contents.

Lossless quality

Pages are copied as-is — text stays selectable, vectors stay sharp and images are never re-compressed.

Visual page preview

See every page as a thumbnail, zoom in for detail, and select pages with click, Shift+click or quick filters.

ZIP for many files

When a split creates several PDFs, they're bundled into one ZIP download. You can also save each file separately.

Works everywhere

Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android and iPhone — any modern browser, no app to install.

Free, no limits

No account, no watermarks and no daily caps. Split as many PDF files as you like.

Is it safe to split PDF files online?

With SplitPDF, yes. Most online PDF splitters upload your document to a remote server. SplitPDF uses the open-source pdf-lib, pdf.js and JSZip libraries to read, split and archive pages entirely inside your browser tab. Contracts, invoices, medical records and other confidential documents never leave your computer or phone.

Frequently asked questions

How to split a PDF into separate files online?

⌄

Open SplitPDF, drop your PDF onto the upload zone, choose a mode (custom page ranges, split every N pages, or extract all pages), then click Split & Download. You get one PDF, or a ZIP archive when several files are created. Everything runs in your browser.

Are my uploaded PDF documents private and secure?

⌄

Yes. SplitPDF never uploads your file. The PDF is read and split locally by JavaScript (pdf-lib and pdf.js) inside your browser, so the document never leaves your device. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads.

Can I extract specific page ranges from a PDF?

⌄

Yes. Choose Extract Custom Page Ranges and type ranges like 1-3, 5, 8-10, or click thumbnails to select pages. You can merge them into one PDF, create one PDF per range, or one PDF per page. Open-ended ranges such as 7- (page 7 to the end) are supported.

How do I split a PDF every N pages?

⌄

Select Split Every N Pages and enter the number of pages per file, for example 2. A 10-page PDF becomes 5 files of 2 pages each, delivered together in a ZIP archive.

How do I save every page of a PDF as a separate file?

⌄

Choose Extract All Pages. SplitPDF creates one single-page PDF for every page and packs them into a ZIP archive named after your original file.

Is SplitPDF free? Is there a page or file limit?

⌄

SplitPDF is completely free with no sign-up, watermarks or daily limits. Because files are processed on your device, the practical limit depends on your browser's memory; documents with hundreds of pages work fine on most computers and phones.

Does splitting a PDF reduce quality?

⌄

No. Pages are copied as-is, including text, vector graphics, images and fonts, so the extracted pages look identical to the original. Nothing is re-rendered or re-compressed.

Can I split password-protected PDFs?

⌄

PDFs that require a password to open cannot be split. Remove the password with the application that created the file first, then split it with SplitPDF.
