Free · No upload · No sign-up
Take the pages you need out of a PDF, or cut it into single pages or equal parts. The file is read and split inside your browser and is not sent anywhere — it works with the internet switched off.

Pages are copied whole and not compressed. Bookmarks, fillable forms and document information are not carried over. There are no page previews; pages are chosen by number.
The PDF you choose is read by this page inside your browser and split there. This tool has no upload step and no server route; the new files are built in your device's memory and handed straight to your downloads.
You do not have to take that on trust. Open the page, switch off Wi‑Fi or mobile data, and split: it still works. The line under the result also counts the network requests made while the split was running.
Pick pages: type the pages you want, separated by commas, with ranges written as 1-3 — for example 1-3, 5, 8-10. They go into one new PDF in the order you typed them. A range written backwards, such as 10-8, puts those pages in reverse order, and a page typed twice appears twice. A page past the end of the file, or anything that is not a number or a range, is named under the box and nothing is made until it is fixed.
Every page: each page becomes its own PDF. Every N pages: the file is cut into parts of that many pages, and the last part holds whatever is left. Page numbers count from the first page of the file, whatever numbers are printed on the pages themselves.
When the result is one file, it is saved as a PDF named after the original with the pages added, such as report-p1-3_5.pdf. When it is more than one, the PDFs are put into a single ZIP file, report-split.zip, because browsers block a page that starts many downloads at once, or ask first. The ZIP is not compressed, so it is about the size of the PDFs inside it.
Each page is copied whole, so text, images, links and notes on it come across unchanged. The bookmark list, a fillable form and the original title and author information belong to the whole document and are not carried over. Each new file carries the fonts and images its own pages use, so the parts added together can be larger than the original.
A password-protected PDF is refused, because its pages would come out still locked and open blank. If you know the password, remove it first with the Unlock a PDF tool on this site and choose the file again. A damaged file, a file that is not a PDF, or a PDF with no pages is also named and not split.
There are no page previews here, so pages are chosen by number; open the PDF in any viewer to find the numbers you need. The work is done by your device, so a very large file on an older phone can take a while. Nothing is kept after you close the page.
No. This page reads and splits the file inside your browser, and there is no server step for this tool. You can test it yourself: open the page, switch off your internet connection, then split. It still works. The line under the result also counts the network requests made while splitting.
Choose Pick pages and type the pages separated by commas, with ranges like 1-3 — for example 1-3, 5, 8-10. They are saved as one new PDF in that order. To save each page separately, or every few pages, choose one of the other two ways; when that makes more than one file, they come as one ZIP.
No. A locked PDF is refused rather than split, because its pages would open blank. If you know the password, remove it first with the Unlock a PDF tool on this site, then choose the file again.
