Why split PDFs in the browser?
The PDFs people split are rarely casual: a contract where you need the signature page, a bank statement where one month matters, a 40-page scan with your ID buried on page 12. Uploading those to a "free online splitter" hands the whole document to an unknown server just to throw most of it away. This tool never does that — the file is opened, copied page by page, and reassembled entirely on your device. It's lossless, it's instant even for large files, and the only copies that exist are the ones in your downloads folder.
If the extracted file is still over a portal's size limit, run it through thePDF compressor next — splitting first means fewer pages to compress, so the result stays sharper.
Frequently asked questions
How do I write a page range?
Use commas and dashes, exactly like a print dialog: 1-3, 5, 8-10 extracts pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10 into one new PDF, in that order. Page numbers start at 1, and the tool shows the document's page count as soon as it loads.
What does "every page as a separate PDF" do?
It turns an N-page document into N single-page PDF files, packed into one ZIP download. Useful when a system wants each document uploaded individually — separating scanned certificates, splitting an invoice batch, or breaking apart a merged scan.
Does splitting reduce quality or re-compress the pages?
No. Pages are copied into the new file exactly as they are — text stays selectable, images keep their original resolution, and links inside a page keep working. Splitting is lossless; nothing is rendered or re-encoded.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The document is opened and split by code running in your browser; the new files are assembled in your device's memory and saved straight to your downloads. For contracts, statements and IDs — the documents people actually split — that privacy is the whole point.
Why won't my password-protected PDF split?
Encrypted PDFs can't be opened by the tool. Remove the password first — open the file in your PDF viewer with the password and save/print it as a new PDF — then split the unlocked copy.
