Split PDF

Cut one PDF into several smaller documents.

Split PDF breaks a single PDF into several files inside your browser. Choose page ranges such as 1-3, 7, 10-12, split at fixed intervals, or turn every page into its own file. Each result downloads separately, or all of them together as a ZIP built locally.

  3. Download the parts individually or as a single ZIP.

Questions about Split PDF

What range syntax does the tool accept?
Comma-separated ranges with optional hyphens: 1-3, 7, 10-12 produces three files. Whitespace is ignored, ranges may overlap, and pages outside the document are reported instead of silently dropped.
Can I extract a single page?
Yes — enter that page number alone, or use Extract PDF Pages if you want several scattered pages collected into one document rather than separate files.
Are the split files smaller than the original?
Usually, but not proportionally. Shared resources such as embedded fonts are copied into every part that needs them, so ten one-page files can total more than the original ten-page document.
Does splitting re-encode the pages?
No. Each output is a fresh PDF whose page objects are copied verbatim from the source, so text stays selectable and images keep their original compression.
How large a PDF can I split?
There is no built-in limit; the ceiling is device memory, because the source file and the parts being written are held in RAM at the same time. A few hundred megabytes is comfortable on a desktop. On a phone, a file much over 50 MB risks the tab being reclaimed mid-split.
Does the ZIP download work on an iPhone?
Yes. The ZIP is assembled in the tab and saved through the normal download flow, which iOS routes to the Files app. Safari will not expand it for you, so tap the file in Files to unzip it. For two or three parts, downloading them individually is less fuss.
Is Split PDF really free, with no limits?
Yes. There is no account, no daily cap, no file-size tier and no watermark, because there is no server cost to recover. The site is funded by clearly disclosed partner recommendations on the Partners page, never by metering the tools.
Are my files or text uploaded when I use Split PDF?
No. Everything is processed by JavaScript running in your browser, on your device. You can verify it: open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and use the tool. You will see no request carrying your data — because there is nowhere for it to go.
