Split PDF
Often you only need part of a document: one signed page out of a contract, a single chapter from a report, a form without its twenty pages of terms. Splitting the PDF gives you just that part, without a subscription to a desktop editor.
The document is parsed and rebuilt in your browser, which matters when the file is a contract, a medical record or anything else you would rather not hand to a web service.
Runs in your browser. Split PDF processes your input on your own device. Nothing you enter or upload is sent to a server.
How to use the Split PDF
- Upload the PDF you want to split.
- Choose whether to split every page out separately or extract a page range.
- Enter the range if you are extracting one.
- Download the resulting file or files.
Supported formats: PDF input; PDF output.
Things worth knowing
- Password-protected and encrypted PDFs cannot be processed.
- Very large documents are limited by the memory available to your browser tab.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The file is read and rewritten in your browser using a JavaScript PDF library, so it never leaves your device.
Can I extract a specific range of pages?
Yes. You can either split the document so every page becomes its own file, or specify a range and get just those pages back as one PDF.
Does splitting change the pages themselves?
No. The pages are copied into a new document as they are, so text stays selectable and the layout is unchanged.
Will it work on a password-protected PDF?
Encrypted documents generally cannot be opened by the tool. Remove the password in the application you normally use to read the file, then split the unprotected copy.
