How to split a PDF
To split a PDF, open the file, choose whether to split every page or define custom page ranges, confirm the outputs, and export. The split runs in your browser, so the source PDF is processed on your device and never sent to a server.
Custom ranges let you pull out exactly the pages you need, such as 1-3, 5, and 7-9, as long as they stay within the document's page count and do not overlap. Because the result is usually several PDFs, they download together as a single ZIP that is easy to move and share.
- Extracting pages from scans and document bundles
- Separating appendices, receipts, and supporting pages
- Breaking long reports into smaller review files
- Preparing page-based uploads for forms and portals
What the output looks like
Before exporting, the tool makes the output structure clear so you know whether the split is by page or by range and what each resulting file contains. That removes the guesswork that comes with blindly splitting a document.
Each resulting PDF preserves the original pages as they were, so text and scans stay intact in the smaller files. The downloads arrive as one ZIP to keep the result tidy when a split produces many files.
Is splitting a PDF here private?
Yes. Split PDF runs client-side, so the source PDF stays on your device throughout processing and is never uploaded. For admin paperwork, contracts, and personal scans, keeping the split local makes the workflow easy to trust.
Nothing is stored after you close the tab, and there is no server queue, so even large documents split quickly and privately.
