What you can do with this split PDF tool
This tool splits one PDF into many smaller PDFs. You choose how to split—by page, by every few pages, or by custom ranges. No signup. Your file never leaves your device. Here’s what you get, step by step.
Add your PDF by click or drag and drop
Click the upload box or drag your PDF onto it. Only one file at a time. We accept any normal PDF file.
See a preview of your file
After you upload, you see a small preview of the first page, the file name, how many pages it has, and the file size. You can click “Clear File” anytime to remove the current PDF; then drop or click the zone to add another.
See all your pages in a row
Below the preview, you see a row of small cards—one for each page (Page 1, Page 2, and so on). You can scroll sideways if you have many pages. This helps you see how your PDF is laid out.
Click the scissors to choose where to split
Between each page there is a small scissors icon. Click it to add a split there (it turns orange). Click again to remove the split. The “Custom ranges” box updates automatically so you can see exactly which pages go into each new file.
Split into one PDF per page
Choose “Each page” if you want every single page as its own PDF. For example, a 10-page PDF becomes 10 separate files. Handy when you need to send or use one page at a time.
Split into chunks of 2, 3, or more pages
Choose “Every N pages” and enter a number (like 2 or 5). We split your PDF into groups of that many pages. A 10-page PDF with “every 2 pages” gives you 5 files: pages 1–2, 3–4, 5–6, 7–8, and 9–10. The example under the box shows you exactly what you’ll get.
Split by your own page ranges
Choose “Custom ranges” and type the pages you want in each new file. Use a dash for a range (e.g. 1-5) and commas to separate (e.g. 1-3, 7, 9-11). One range is one PDF. So “1-5, 7, 9-11” gives you three PDFs: one with pages 1 to 5, one with just page 7, and one with pages 9 to 11.
See how many files you’ll get
Before you split, the page tells you “You’ll get X PDF(s)” and, for custom ranges, shows the exact ranges (e.g. “pages 1–5, page 7”). So you always know what to expect.
Click Split PDF and wait a moment
When your settings look good, click the big “Split PDF” button. A progress bar shows how far along we are. When it’s done, your browser downloads one ZIP file with all the new PDFs inside.
Text stays selectable and searchable
We don’t turn your pages into images. We split the PDF as it is. So in every new file you can still select text, copy it, search, and use links. It works like the original.
Your file never leaves your device
Everything happens in your browser. We don’t upload your PDF to our server. We don’t store it or look at it. Your document stays with you.
One ZIP with all your new PDFs
All the split PDFs are put into a single ZIP file. You download that one file, then open it (double-click on most devices) to get the individual PDFs. Easy to save or share.
Works on phone, tablet, or computer
You can split PDFs on any device. On a computer you can drag and drop. On a phone or tablet you tap to choose your file and use the same options to split.
No signup or account
You don’t need to create an account or log in. Open the page, add your PDF, choose how to split, and download. No email, no password. Use it as often as you like.
In short: upload your PDF, choose how to split (each page, every few pages, or your own ranges), click Split PDF, and download the ZIP. It’s free, private, and no account is needed. If you have questions, check the FAQ below.
