—About Split PDF
Split PDF breaks one PDF into smaller files — a file per page, a chosen page range, or a hand-picked selection — and delivers the results as a ZIP. It is for separating chapters, extracting a section, or pulling single pages out of a larger document.
Sharing an entire document when someone needs one section is wasteful and sometimes sensitive. Splitting locally lets you isolate exactly the pages you want without uploading the file.
Step by step
- Open the PDF you want to split.
- Choose a split mode: one file per page, a page range, or a custom selection.
- Specify the pages or range you need.
- Run the split to generate the separate files.
- Download them together as a ZIP.
What it offers
- Split by single page, range, or custom selection
- Multiple output files from one document
- ZIP download of all results
- Splitting performed locally
Tips for best results
- Use range mode for contiguous sections and custom selection for scattered pages.
- Check the page numbers against the document before splitting to avoid off-by-one mistakes.
- If you need the pages combined differently afterward, pair this with Merge PDF.

No file or text you enter here is uploaded. Encoding and decoding happen on your device using native browser APIs — close the tab and nothing remains on a server.
