Split PDF

Break a PDF into individual single-page PDFs — free, instant, entirely on your device.

How to split a PDF

Drop your PDF into the box above and every page is extracted into its own single-page PDF file, then packaged into a ZIP for download — no page-selection step needed for a full split.

For example, a scanned 10-page contract can be split here into ten separate one-page PDFs, useful when only a specific page needs to be shared or signed individually.

Common reasons to split a PDF

A large scanned document often needs to become several smaller files — pulling just the signature page out of a contract, separating chapters of a report, or extracting a single invoice from a bundle a vendor sent as one PDF. Splitting by page range lets you pull exactly the pages you need without re-scanning or re-creating anything.

Every page keeps its original formatting, images and text after splitting, since this tool only changes which pages belong to which output file — it doesn't touch the content of the pages themselves. If you need the opposite operation afterward, the Merge PDF tool will recombine any of the resulting files back into one document.

What stays intact during a split

Splitting copies the underlying page objects directly into new files rather than rasterizing them into images, so selectable text, embedded fonts and existing formatting all carry through to the resulting files unchanged. Each output PDF is a fully valid, standalone document that opens normally in any reader.

This page-copying runs through a PDF manipulation library loaded directly into your browser tab, which means even a confidential document never needs to leave your device just to pull a few pages out of it.
