Split PDF

Extract page ranges from a PDF into a new file using simple 1-based ranges like 1-3,5.

Use Split PDF (interactive) — JavaScript required for uploads.

How to use this tool

  1. Upload one PDF
  2. Enter page ranges (e.g. 1-3,5,7-9)
  3. Run Split and download the new PDF

Split vs extract

Split and Extract use the same range idea. Extract is worded for “pull these pages out”; Split is the classic range tool.

Frequently asked questions

Is split PDF free?

Can I split into many files at once?

This tool returns one PDF for the ranges you enter. For page images, use PDF to JPG or PDF to PNG.

Runs in your browser

This tool works entirely on this page. Your file is opened by JavaScript here, changed in memory, and handed straight back to you — it is never uploaded. Open your browser's Network tab while you use it and you will see nothing leave your device.

Because there is no server doing the work, there is no signup, no watermark, no file size limit, and no daily cap. Nothing is stored, because nothing is received.
