Split PDF
15 toolsSplit a PDF into separate files: every page, custom page ranges, or every N pages. Free PDF cutter that runs in your browser, no upload.
Split a PDF into separate files, packaged as a single ZIP download. Separate every page into its own PDF, cut the document into custom ranges such as 1-3, 4-8 and 9, or break it into equal parts of N pages. It's the quick way to unmerge a combined scan or pull chapters apart; to keep just a few pages in one file, use Extract Pages instead. Everything runs locally in your browser, so private documents stay on your device and there's no upload, signup or watermark.

Frequently asked questions
Do I get one download per page?
No — every page is packaged into a single split-pages.zip file, so there's just one download regardless of page count.
How do I split a PDF into separate files by page range?
Choose Custom ranges and type the ranges separated by commas, such as 1-3, 4-8, 9. Each range becomes its own PDF, so that example produces three files.
How do I separate a PDF into single pages?
Keep the default Every page option. Every page is saved as its own one-page PDF (page-1.pdf, page-2.pdf, and so on), which is the quickest way to unmerge a combined PDF.
Can I cut a PDF into equal parts?
Yes. Choose Every N pages and set how many pages each file should have. A 10-page PDF split every 2 pages gives five 2-page files; the last file holds any leftover pages.
I only need a few pages, not separate files. What should I use?
Use Extract Pages to pull selected pages into one new PDF, or Delete Pages to remove the pages you don't want.
Does splitting reduce quality, and is my PDF uploaded?
Pages are copied as they are, so text and images keep their original quality. The split runs entirely in your browser; the PDF never leaves your device.
