Split a PDF online
Often you only need a handful of pages from a long PDF, or you want each page as its own file. Splitting copies the pages you pick into a fresh document, or breaks the whole thing into single pages bundled in a ZIP. Choose pages straight from the thumbnails, or type a range like 1-3, 5. The file is read and split on your own device, so it never leaves your computer.

Extract pages vs. split all pages
Extract pages copies the pages you choose into a single new PDF — handy for keeping just a few pages from a longer document. Split all pages turns every page into its own one-page PDF and bundles them into a ZIP file, which is useful when you need each page as a separate document.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The PDF is split entirely in your browser on your own device. It never leaves your computer, which keeps it completely private.
How do I choose which pages to extract?
Click the numbered page tiles to select or deselect them, or type a range such as "1-3, 5, 8" and press Apply. The two stay in sync.
What does "split all pages" produce?
One PDF per page, all bundled into a single ZIP file you can download in one click.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. The pages are copied exactly as they are, at full quality — nothing is re-compressed.
Can it split password-protected PDFs?
Encrypted or password-protected PDFs may not open. If a file can't be read, remove its protection first and try again.
Is it really free?
Yes — it's free with no signup, no watermark, and no limit on the number of pages.
