Split PDF

Split a PDF by extracting chosen pages or page ranges into a new PDF, or save every page as its own file, without uploading the document.

About Split PDF

A PDF splitter pulls selected pages out of a document. This tool reads a list such as 1-3, 5, 8-10 and copies those pages with pdf-lib into one new PDF, in the order you list them. With the separate files option, each page is saved as its own PDF, limited to 60 pages per run. Pages are copied without re-rendering, so their content is unchanged.

Also known as: PDF Splitter, Extract PDF Pages, Split PDF Files, PDF Split.

How to use Split PDF

  1. Choose one PDF file, or drag the file onto the upload area. Nothing is uploaded; the browser reads it locally.
  2. Set "Pages to extract", "Save each page as a separate file" as needed.
  3. Press "Split PDF" and wait for the result to appear.
  4. Save the result with the download button, or copy the text where the tool returns text.

Questions about Split PDF

How do I write the page range?

Separate entries with commas and use a hyphen for a span, for example 1-3, 5, 8-10. Page numbers start at 1. Leave the field empty to take every page.

Can I split a PDF into one file per page?

Yes. Check the option to save each page as a separate file. Each selected page becomes its own PDF with a download button. This mode handles up to 60 pages per run, so use a range for longer documents.
