Split a PDF into the pages you actually need.
Pull specific pages out as a single PDF, or break a document into one PDF per page (delivered as a ZIP). All in your browser — your files never leave your device. No signup, no watermark, no page limit.
-
Stays on your device
The PDF you drop is read in your browser tab and processed locally. Nothing is uploaded to a server. Disable wifi after the page loads and the splitter still works.
-
Two ways to split
Extract specific pages into a single combined PDF (great for "just send me page 5"), or split every page into its own file at once (great for archiving page-by-page).
-
Quality stays intact
Pages are copied directly from the source PDF — same fonts, same images, same selectable text. We're slicing, not re-rendering.
How it works
- 1
Drop a PDF
Drag your file onto the box above, or click to browse. We read the page count so you can see what you're working with.
- 2
Pick what to do
Extract specific pages if you know which ones you want — type them as a range (
1-3, 5, 7-9) and we'll combine those into one PDF. Split every page if you want every page as its own file — we'll bundle them as a ZIP so they download in one go. - 3
Click and save
Splitting takes a moment, then your file lands in the downloads folder. Named whatever you want.
Frequently asked questions
How do I specify pages?
Use commas for individual pages, hyphens for ranges. 1-3, 5, 7-9
means "pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, and 9." Pages appear in the output in numerical
order regardless of how you typed them — and duplicates are dropped, so
1, 1, 2 becomes 1, 2.
What about password-protected PDFs?
PDFs that require a password to open can't be split — we'd need the password to read them. PDFs with only an "owner password" restricting editing or printing, but not viewing, work fine.
Why a ZIP for "Split every page"?
A 50-page PDF becomes 50 separate one-page PDFs. Asking your browser to download 50 files would either trigger a security prompt or scatter half of them. Bundling them as a single ZIP means one download, one click, all the files inside. Most operating systems can open a ZIP without any extra software.
What happens to bookmarks, links, form fields?
In-page content (text, images, links inside the page) is preserved exactly. Document-level features like outline bookmarks are dropped — pdf-lib doesn't carry them across when slicing pages. Form fields are kept.
Is there a file size limit?
No limit set by us. The real ceiling is your device's memory — splitting works on the whole document at once, so a 500-page scanned PDF might be slow or hit a memory wall on phones. If you run into trouble, try on a desktop.
Does this work on mobile?
Yes. Tap the drop zone instead of dragging; the file picker opens. After splitting, the result saves to your default download location (Files app on iOS, Downloads folder on Android).
