PDF splitter

Pick the mode that matches your goal:

• Every page — produces one PDF per page. Best for splitting a multi-page scan back into individual receipts, invoices, or ID cards.
• Custom ranges — each comma-separated group (1-3, 5, 7-9) becomes its own output PDF. Use this when one document bundles several distinct sections you want to share separately.
• Extract subset — all listed pages collapse into a single output PDF, in the order you list them. Use this to share a 2-page summary from a 200-page report, or to reorder pages (write 5,1-3,7 to push page 5 to the front).

The range input accepts these formats, separated by commas:

• 4 — a single page.
• 1-3 — an inclusive range (pages 1, 2 and 3).
• 1-3,5,7-9 — mix and match.

Whitespace is ignored. Ranges must go low-to-high (1-3, not 3-1) and every number must land inside the document. The tool validates as you type and shows the exact page count, so mistakes are caught before you click Split.

Each output PDF contains a verbatim copy of the requested pages. That means:

• Text, fonts, images and vector graphics are byte-identical to the original.
• Internal hyperlinks that stay within the copied pages keep working. Links that pointed at pages outside the copied range become dead.
• Document-level bookmarks / outlines are not carried forward (the targets they reference no longer exist in the split).
• Form fields on copied pages are preserved.
• Digital signatures are invalidated — splitting is a structural change.

Every output PDF is named <original-stem>-pages-<label>.pdf:

• Pages 1, 2, 3 from report.pdf in Every page mode become report-pages-1.pdf, report-pages-2.pdf, report-pages-3.pdf.
• Range 1-3 becomes report-pages-1-3.pdf.

When more than one PDF is produced, a Download all as ZIP button appears. The ZIP uses store mode (no recompression) since PDFs are already compressed — you get a fast, lossless bundle that matches the sum of the individual file sizes.

Because nothing is uploaded, there's no server-side log of which pages you split, no telemetry containing file content, and no way for us to recover your data — by design. Use a private window if you want the browser to clear in-memory caches the moment you close it.

This in-browser approach handles most everyday workflows, but there are a few cases where another tool is a better fit:

• Very large PDFs (well over a few hundred MB) may exceed available browser memory. Workaround: split the file in two halves first using Custom ranges.
• Password-protected files must be decrypted first in a desktop reader.
• If you need to preserve signed status or PDF/A conformance, do not split — export the relevant pages from the original tool that produced and signed the document.
