Drop a PDF and choose one of three split modes: "Page ranges" extracts the pages you specify (e.g. 1-3, 5, 8-10), "Every N pages" slices into equal chunks, or "One PDF per page" bursts into individual single-page PDFs. Multi-part output is packaged as a ZIP for one-click download.
usageUse dashes for ranges and commas for separate selections — "1-3, 5, 8-10" extracts pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10 into the output. Whitespace is ignored, ranges that overlap are deduplicated, and out-of-bounds pages are silently clipped to the document length.
usageUse Page ranges mode and enter the chapter's start-end page (e.g. "47-86"). The output is a single PDF containing exactly those pages, preserving original layout, fonts and embedded images. No need to scan-and-OCR the whole document.
tipsYes — use "Every N pages" mode and pick a chunk size. A 200-page report split every 20 pages produces 10 PDFs, each comfortably under typical email attachment limits. The ZIP keeps them ordered as part-01, part-02, etc.
featuresPer-page PDFs are useful for scanned multi-page records that need to be filed individually (medical, legal), for selling individual book chapters, or for parallel processing in workflows that handle one page at a time (OCR pipelines, signature collection).
featuresNo — pdf-lib copies whole pages from source to output, so fonts, images, vector content and form fields stay byte-identical. The total size of the parts is approximately the same as the original.
qualityYes — splitting happens entirely in your browser. PDFs never leave your device, which is critical for legal discovery, medical records and HR documents where third-party servers are not permitted.
privacyYes — free, no signup, no watermark, no daily cap, unlimited file size (within browser memory). Use it commercially for client work without attribution.
pricingHow Split PDF helps you get it done
Real problems it solves every day — for businesses, creators, and everyday tasks. Find the use case that fits you and start in seconds.
Extract One Chapter from an E-book
Pull just the chapter you need from a 400-page reference PDF using page ranges (e.g. "47-86"). Faster to share, faster to load on a tablet, easier to annotate.
Split Bank Statements by Account
A joint bank statement PDF often contains separate sections for each account holder. Use page ranges to extract each holder's section for individual filing or sharing.
Send Large Reports in Email-Friendly Chunks
A 200-page report exceeds typical email attachment limits. Split into 20-page chunks and send sequentially, or upload chunks to file sharing one at a time.
Burst Multi-Page Scans into Single Files
A scanned stack of mixed documents (utility bills, IDs, receipts) needs to be filed individually. Burst into one PDF per page, then rename and file each one.
Extract Signed Pages from a Contract
The signed pages of a long contract are usually the last 2-3 pages. Extract just those for the counterparty's records, or for an HR filing system that only needs the executed signature page.
Distribute Customised Course Materials
Teachers prepare a master PDF and need to distribute different sections to different student groups. Split by page range to create per-group handouts.
