To split a PDF, upload it and enter the page ranges you want — 1-5, 8, 12-20 for example — or choose to split every page into its own file. Each range becomes a separate PDF, and the results download individually or together as a single ZIP archive.

How to use Split a PDF into Separate Files
Upload the PDF — Drop in the document you want to split. A page preview appears.

Download the results — Save the extracted PDF, or download all pieces at once as a ZIP.
Frequently asked questions
How do I extract just one page?
Enter that single page number as the range — for example, "7" gives you page 7 as its own PDF.
Can I split into multiple ranges at once?
Yes. Comma-separate them, such as 1-3, 7, 10-15, and each range becomes its own output file.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Every conversion runs inside your own browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device, which means there is nothing for us to store, read, or leak.
Is this tool really free?
Yes. There is no signup, no watermark, no file limit, and no trial period. The site is funded by advertising, so the tools stay free for everyone.
