PDF Splitter

Split a PDF into separate files by page ranges.

What this tool does

This tool splits a PDF into several smaller PDFs. In “Extract ranges” mode, each range you type (for example 1-3, 7) becomes its own PDF, in the order you typed it. In “Split into chunks” mode, every N pages becomes one PDF.

The original file is only read in your browser; each output is a fresh PDF containing copies of the chosen pages.

How to use it

  1. Choose a PDF — the tool shows how many pages it has.
  2. Pick a mode: “Extract ranges” or “Split into chunks”.
  3. For ranges, type them like 1-3, 5. For chunks, set how many pages each output should have.
  4. Press “Split PDF” and download each output file from the list.

Supported formats

  • Input: PDF files (up to 15 MB)
  • Output: one PDF per range or chunk

Limitations

  • Page numbers refer to the PDF's own page order, not to any printed page numbers inside the document.
  • Password-protected PDFs cannot be split.
  • A single page cannot be split further — scanned double-page spreads are one page to this tool.

Frequently asked questions

How do I split a PDF into single pages?

Choose “Split into chunks” and set pages per chunk to 1 — every page becomes its own PDF.

Can I get the same page in two outputs?

Yes. In ranges mode, repeat the range (e.g. 1-3, 1-3) and you will get two files each containing those pages.

Is my document uploaded?

No. Splitting happens entirely in your browser; the file never leaves your device.

Files are processed in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
