What does this PDF Split tool do?
This free online PDF splitter divides a single PDF file into multiple smaller PDFs — entirely in your browser. You can split a PDF into individual pages (one file per page), extract specific pages into a single new PDF, or split by custom page ranges (one file per range). The original document stays untouched, and every output opens like a normal PDF.
The tool uses pdf-lib, a fast open-source JavaScript library that reads and writes PDF files directly. It copies page objects from the source PDF into new documents, preserving text, images, vector graphics, page dimensions and orientation. Because everything runs locally, your PDF never leaves your device — there is no upload, no server processing and no data storage.
This is perfect for extracting a single page from a long report, dividing a document into chapters, creating individual invoices from a batch PDF, or removing unnecessary pages by keeping only the ones you need.
Split modes explained
Every Page Separately
Creates one single-page PDF for every page of the original file. A 5-page PDF gives you page-1.pdf through page-5.pdf.
Extract Selected Pages
Enter the page numbers you want, like 1, 3, 5. You get a single new PDF containing exactly those pages, in the order you listed them.
Custom Page Ranges
Enter ranges like 1-3, 4-6, 7-10. Each range becomes its own PDF, named after the range.
Download all as ZIP
When more than one file is generated, grab them all at once in a ZIP archive — and rename the ZIP to whatever you like.
100% private
Your PDF never leaves your device. No upload, no server, no logs, no tracking.
Works on mobile
Fully responsive. Split PDFs from a phone, tablet, or desktop — no app install required.
