Scanners and accounting systems love to produce one enormous PDF. Splitting lets you turn that batch back into individual documents: one file per invoice, one per chapter, or a separate PDF for each student's test. You can define exact ranges such as 1-3, 4-10 and 11-end, cut the file every fixed number of pages, or extract every page as its own PDF.
The split runs in your browser using your device's processing power. Your PDF is never uploaded, and when you split into more than one file the results are bundled into a single ZIP download.
If you only need one section of the document, Extract Pages is a little faster: pick the pages and you get a single PDF back instead of a ZIP.

Features
Custom ranges
Type ranges like 1-5, 6-12 to create exactly the documents you need, each as a separate PDF.
Fixed intervals
Split every N pages, which is handy for batches of identically sized forms or two-page invoices.
One file per page
Turn every page into its own PDF in a single step.
No quality loss
Pages are copied, not re-rendered, so text and images look exactly as in the original.
Good to know
- Encrypted PDFs need to be unlocked first.
- Splitting a very long document into hundreds of files uses more memory; on older phones it may take a while.
Frequently asked questions
How do I split a PDF into individual pages?
Choose the extract all pages option. Every page becomes its own PDF and they are delivered together in a ZIP file.
Is there a page limit?
There is no fixed page limit because the work happens on your device. Very large files are limited by your browser's available memory.
Does splitting upload my file?
No. Split PDF runs locally in your browser and your document never leaves your device.
Why did I get a ZIP file?
When a split produces more than one PDF, the files are packed into a ZIP so you can download them in one click. Most operating systems open ZIP files with a double-click.
Will bookmarks and links survive the split?
Page content is preserved, but document-level items such as the bookmark outline may not carry over to the new files, since they often point to pages that are no longer in the same document.
