Split PDF
Split a PDF into single pages, or pull out one page range as its own file. The split happens in your browser — your PDF is never uploaded to any server.
Example: a 5-page test PDF (2,227 bytes) split into single pages gives five files of 976 bytes each.

Worked example — a 5-page PDF split two ways
We tested the split tool on a 5-page test PDF of 2,227 bytes. Split into single pages, it gave five files of 976 bytes each — one per page. Split as a page range instead, pages 2 to 3 came out as one 2-page PDF of 1,298 bytes. Each new file is a normal PDF you can open, print or share on its own.
Frequently asked questions
How do I split a PDF into single pages for free?
Open this page, add your PDF, pick "every page as its own file", and press Split PDF. You get one download link per page, with no account and no fee.
Can I pull out just pages 2 to 3 of a PDF?
Yes. Pick "one page range", type 2 as the first page and 3 as the last page, and press Split PDF. The result is a single 2-page PDF.
Does splitting a PDF lower the quality?
No. The pages are copied as they are, so text and images stay the same. Splitting does not re-draw the pages.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The split runs fully in your browser with the pdf-lib library, which is stored on this site. Your file never travels over the internet.
What if my PDF has a password?
Password-protected PDFs cannot be opened by this tool. Remove the password in your PDF reader first, then split it.
