Have a large PDF document but only need a few specific pages? Or perhaps you need to break a massive report into smaller, manageable chapters? Our Split PDF Tool is the perfect solution. It allows you to extract selected pages or separate an entire document into individual PDF files—all within your browser, for free.
PDFs are designed to be final, uneditable documents. This makes them great for sharing but frustrating when you only want a part of the content. Splitting PDFs gives you control back over your information.
Instead of sending a 100-page contract when a client only needs to sign page 50, you can extract just that page. It saves bandwidth and reduces confusion.
Splitting a large document into chapters reduces the file size of each part, making them easier to upload to websites or email servers with size limits.
Separate invoices, receipts, or bank statements that were scanned into a single bulk file. Keep your digital filing cabinet neat and organized.
Remove sensitive information. If a report contains financial data on pages 10-12, you can split the PDF to create a version without those pages for wider distribution.
Splitting a PDF sounds technical, but we've made it as easy as selecting a file. Here is the step-by-step guide:
Our tool uses a flexible syntax to let you define exactly what you want to keep. Here are some examples of how to format your input:
| Input | Result |
|---|---|
| 5 | Extracts only page 5. |
| 1-5 | Extracts pages 1 through 5 inclusive. |
| 1, 3, 5 | Extracts pages 1, 3, and 5 into a new PDF. |
| 1-3, 8-10 | Combines two separate ranges into one document. |
Why use our online splitter instead of Adobe Acrobat or other desktop software?
Professional PDF software is expensive. Our tool provides the essential splitting functionality completely free of charge.
We use advanced client-side technology. Your file is processed directly in your web browser and is never uploaded to our servers. This guarantees that your sensitive data remains private.
Works on Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android. As long as you have a web browser, you can split PDFs anywhere.
For security reasons, we cannot process encrypted files directly. You must remove the password first using our "Unlock PDF" tool before splitting it.
When extracting pages, the content on the page itself (text, images, links) is preserved. However, global document properties like bookmarks (outline) or table of contents might be lost or need adjustment since the structure of the document has changed.
Since the processing happens on your device, the limit depends on your browser's memory. We recommend files under 50MB-100MB for the smoothest experience, but larger files often work fine on powerful computers.
Yes! If you made a mistake or need to recombine parts of different documents, simply use our "Merge PDF" tool.
Don't let bulky PDF files slow you down. Whether you are archiving receipts, sharing specific chapters of an eBook, or preparing legal documents, splitting PDFs is a vital workflow. Our Online PDF Splitter gives you the precision and speed you need, completely free and secure. Try it now and take control of your documents.
