How to Use PDF Splitter

To split a PDF, upload your file by dragging it onto the page or clicking the upload area. You can then specify page ranges to extract — for example, entering '1-3' extracts the first three pages as a separate PDF, while '5' extracts only page five. Multiple ranges can be defined to create several output files at once.

After entering your desired page ranges and clicking Split, the tool generates individual PDF files for each range. You can download each file separately or use the Download all as ZIP option to save everything at once. This is ideal for breaking large reports into chapters or separating specific pages for sharing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extract a single page from a PDF? expand_more

Yes. Enter the specific page number you want in the range field, and the tool will extract it as a standalone PDF file.

Does splitting a PDF reduce quality? expand_more

No. The split operation extracts existing page data without re-rendering, so all text, images, and formatting remain at their original quality.

Can I split a PDF into every individual page? expand_more

Yes. You can enter each page number as a separate range, or use a range like '1-1, 2-2, 3-3' to get one PDF per page.

Is my PDF file uploaded to a server? expand_more

No. All splitting is done locally in your browser. Your PDF never leaves your device.

Can I split a password-protected PDF? expand_more

You need to unlock the PDF first. Use the Unlock PDF tool to remove password protection, then split the resulting file.
