Split PDF
Extract specific pages from a PDF, or split every page into its own file — entirely in your browser. Pick a page range or burst the whole document to a ZIP. Your file is never uploaded.
How to Use
- Drop a PDF onto the box, or click to choose it.
- To pull out certain pages, type a range like 1-3, 7, 10-12 and press “Extract to one PDF”.
- To split every page into its own file, press “Each page → ZIP” — you get a tidy zip of single-page PDFs.
- The result downloads straight to your device.
- Nothing was uploaded — the split happened in your browser.
Two ways to split, both private
“Splitting” a PDF means one of two things, and this tool does both. The first is extraction: you choose a set of pages — a range like 1–3, a few scattered numbers, or any mix — and the tool copies just those into a brand-new PDF, in the order you listed them. The second is a burst: every page becomes its own single-page PDF, all bundled into a ZIP you can unzip. Either way, the work happens inside your browser. The file is read locally, the new documents are built locally, and the download is handed straight back to you. No server ever receives your PDF, which is the whole point — a contract, a tax form, or a medical record stays on your machine.
Writing a page range
The page box understands plain, comma-separated lists. A hyphen makes a range (4-9), a bare number picks a single page (12), and you can combine them freely: 1-3, 7, 10-12. Leave it empty or type all to take every page. Numbers outside the document are ignored, and duplicates are removed, so you do not have to be precise — type roughly what you want and the tool keeps only the valid pages. For extraction the order you type is the order you get, which doubles as a quick way to reorder a few pages.
About this tool
Split PDF is part of a private, in-browser PDF suite alongside Merge, Rotate, and PDF to Image. Every one runs entirely on your device — no upload, no sign-up, no watermark, no page limit beyond your own memory. The PDF engine is served locally from this site, so once the page has loaded the tool keeps working even offline.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The file is read and split entirely inside your browser; it never touches a server, is never stored, and disappears when you close the tab. That makes it safe for confidential documents.
How do I choose which pages to keep?
Type page numbers and ranges separated by commas — for example 1-3, 7, 10-12 keeps pages 1, 2, 3, 7, 10, 11 and 12. Leave the box empty (or type "all") to select every page. Pages keep the order you list them in.
What is the difference between Extract and Each page → ZIP?
Extract collects the pages you chose into one new PDF. "Each page → ZIP" makes a separate single-page PDF for every page and packages them into a zip file you can unzip — handy when you need each page as its own document.
Can it split a password-protected PDF?
If a PDF is encrypted with a password it must be unlocked first; the tool can read protected-but-not-password files but cannot open ones that require a password to view.
How do I use the Split PDF?
Simply type your numbers and read the result, which refreshes the instant you change something. There is nothing to submit and nothing to wait for.
Do I need to install or sign up for anything?
Not at all — it runs in the browser with nothing to install and no account. After it loads once, it even works without an internet connection.
Is my information private?
Yes. Everything happens in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server or saved anywhere.
