Free split PDF tool online
This free split PDF tool lets you break one PDF into separate files or pull out just the pages you need, right in your browser. Whether you want to extract pages from a PDF, separate a PDF into single pages, or split a long document into equal chunks, this tool does it in seconds — with no signup, no watermark and nothing to install.
The split happens locally on your device, so your file is never uploaded to a server. It stays completely private, which makes this a safe way to handle contracts, statements, scans and other confidential documents.

Frequently asked questions
How do I split a PDF for free?
Drop your PDF into the tool, choose how you want to split it — extract pages, single pages, or every N pages — then click Split PDF. The new files download instantly. It is completely free with no signup and no watermark.
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
No. The tool runs entirely inside your web browser. Your PDF is split on your own device and is never uploaded to any server, which keeps it completely private and safe for confidential documents.
Can I extract only certain pages from a PDF?
Yes. Choose the Extract pages mode and type the pages you want, using ranges and commas such as 1-3,5,8-10. The tool creates one new PDF with just those pages.
Can I split a PDF into single pages?
Yes. Choose the Split into single pages mode and every page becomes its own separate PDF file. You can then download them individually or all together as a ZIP.
Will splitting reduce the quality of my PDF?
No. Pages are copied exactly into the new files with no re-compression, so text stays selectable and images keep their original resolution.
Can I split a PDF on my phone?
Yes. It works on Android and iPhone browsers such as Chrome and Safari. You can pick a PDF from your files, split it, and save or share the new files straight from your phone.
Why won't my password-protected PDF split?
Encrypted or password-protected PDFs cannot be processed until they are unlocked. Remove the password in your PDF reader first, then add the unlocked file to the tool.
