Free Split PDF Tool
Break a long PDF into smaller files your way: pull out exact page ranges, cut it into equal chunks, or save every page as its own PDF. Each part downloads separately with a clear name, and your original file is never modified or uploaded.

Comma-separated ranges or single pages. Pages are 1-based.
How to Use the Split PDF Tool
- Drop your PDF into the box above.
- Pick a split mode — custom ranges like 1-3, 7, every page on its own, or a fixed number of pages per file.
- Click “Split PDF” — each part appears below with its page count and size. Download the parts you need individually.
Features
Three splitting modes cover every scenario: surgical extraction with custom ranges, even chunking for long documents, and one-file-per-page for maximum granularity. The tool validates your ranges against the real page count before processing, so typos get caught early instead of producing broken files.
Benefits & Use Cases
Share just chapter 4 of a 300-page manual instead of the whole file. Separate signed contract pages from drafts. Break a scanned book into emailable chunks under attachment limits. Students pull single problem sets out of a workbook; HR teams isolate one candidate's section from a bulk-exported file.
Tips
Use the “every N pages” mode to beat email attachment limits — 10 pages per file is a safe starting point. Name your ranges on paper first for complex splits to avoid re-downloading. Remember that ranges are 1-based: page 1 is the cover. Download parts right away; they are generated on demand and not stored anywhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the PDF splitter really free?
Yes. Split as many PDFs as you like with no account, no watermark and no page limits.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Splitting runs entirely in your browser, so your document never leaves your device.
How do custom page ranges work?
Type ranges like 1-3, 7, 10-12. Each comma-separated group becomes its own PDF file, named part1, part2 and so on.
Can I save every page as its own PDF?
Yes. Choose the "Every page as a separate PDF" mode and each page downloads as an individual file.
Will split files lose quality?
No. Pages are copied without re-rendering, so text stays selectable and images keep their original quality.
