Three ways to split
Way
You type or click
You get
Every page
Nothing
One file per page, in a ZIP file
Page ranges
1-3, 5, 8-end
Three files: pages 1 to 3, page 5, and page 8 to the end
Selected pages
Click pages 2, 4 and 7
One file with those three pages
Ranges can also run backwards. 5-1 gives pages 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 in that order. A page can be in more than one range.
Try the page ranges
Type ranges the way you would in the tool and see which files you would get. Nothing is split here.

When to split a PDF
Splitting helps when a file is too big to send by email, when only one chapter matters, or when a scan holds several papers in one file. Some forms ask you to upload each paper on its own, like an ID and a bill. Pick each page with "Selected pages" and download them one at a time.
To delete a few pages and keep the rest as one file, open it in the PDF editor, which saves the whole file in one go. To join parts back together, use merge PDF files. To copy only the words, try PDF to text.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free to split a PDF here?
Yes. No account, no page limit and no watermark on the new files.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The file is split in your browser on your own device. Nothing goes to our server.
How do I extract one page from a PDF?
Open the file, click the page to select it, choose "Only the selected pages" and click Split and download. You can also type its number as a range.
How do I type page ranges?
Put a hyphen inside a range and commas between parts, like 1-3, 5, 9-12. The word end means the last page, so 10-end takes page 10 to the end.
Why do I get a ZIP file?
A ZIP file holds all the parts in one download, so your browser doesn't ask about each file. Double click it to open it. Windows, Mac and phones open ZIP files without extra apps.
Do the new files lose quality?
No. The pages are copied as they are, with the same text, pictures and size.
Can I split a PDF with a password?
No. Locked files can't be opened here. Remove the password in the app that made the file first.
