Split a PDF

Three ways to cut a document up: extract a range you name, break it every few pages, or separate every page into a file of its own. Anything that comes out as more than one file arrives as a zip.

How to split a PDF

  • Add the PDF you want to cut up.
  • Choose how to split it — a range, every N pages, or one file per page.
  • Download the pieces, separately or as a single zip.

This runs in your browser. The file is not uploaded, there is no account to create, and nothing is added to the document you download.

Also searched for: extract pdf pages, separate pdf, cut pdf, pdf splitter. It is the same tool whichever way you found it.

Questions about split pdf

How do I extract just a few pages from a PDF?

Choose the range option and name the pages you want — the result is a single PDF containing only those pages. The other two modes break the file every N pages, or separate every page into a file of its own.

What do I get back if the split makes several files?

Anything that comes out as more than one file arrives as a zip, so it is one download rather than fifty.

Does splitting reduce quality?

No. Pages are carried across as they are — nothing is re-rendered or re-compressed, so an extracted page is exactly as good as it was in the original.

Is the PDF uploaded?

No. The file is opened, changed and written by this browser tab — it is never sent to a server, so there is no queue to wait in and nothing to delete afterwards. Once the page has loaded you can turn the network off and the tool still works.
