What is it? Split PDF extracts pages by range, every N pages, per page, or evenly into N parts, producing one or more smaller PDFs locally in your browser — with per-file thumbnail page picking (file tabs) in batch mode; files without their own picking use the default range.
TL;DR: Split a PDF by page range, every N pages, one file per page, or evenly into N parts — click thumbnails to pick pages per file, then download each part or a ZIP. Free and local: everything runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded.
How to use
- Open one or more PDFs.
- Choose a split mode — by range (e.g. 1-3,5), every N pages, one file per page, or evenly into N parts. In range mode, click page thumbnails to pick pages — the range field stays in sync (first 30 pages per file); in batch mode, switch the file tabs to pick pages for each file.
- Optional: set an output file name pattern ({name} = source name, {i} = part number; a missing {i} with multiple parts auto-appends the number).
- Click Split PDF, then download each file or grab them all as a ZIP.
FAQ
Can I extract every page separately?
Yes — split into single-page files or custom ranges.
How does page picking work in a batch?
It is per file: switch the file tabs and click thumbnails for each file (the • marker marks files with their own picking). Files without their own picking are split by the default range string.
Is it local?
Yes — everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded; the file is cleared when you close the page. It's free with a daily allowance, no sign-in, though anonymous use has a per-file size cap (shown in the tool area; higher when signed in).
What can I type in the page-range field?
Plain comma-separated ranges like 1-3,5, open-ended ones like 7- (from page 7 to the end) or -3 (up to page 3), plus the keywords odd and even. You can also click page thumbnails to build a range visually — the range field stays in sync.
How do I split a PDF into equal parts?
Pick "evenly into N parts" — the whole document is divided into N near-equal files. "Every N pages" is different: each output file gets exactly N pages. To pull a fixed set of pages into one file, use range mode (e.g. 1-3,5) or PDF Page Organizer.
How do I split a PDF into one file per page?
Choose the "one file per page" mode — every page becomes its own PDF, and you can download them one by one or as a ZIP. In range mode you can also click thumbnails to pick exactly which pages go into a single output file.
Do bookmarks survive the split?
Bookmarks inside a selected range are kept in the output file that holds those pages; bookmarks pointing at pages no output file covers are dropped. Outline structure is preserved per output, not globally re-created.
What's the difference between Split PDF and PDF Page Organizer?
Split PDF turns one PDF into several files (by range, every N pages, per page, or into N parts) — with batch files, per-file page picking and a ZIP download. PDF Page Organizer reorganizes pages inside a single PDF (delete, rotate, reorder, duplicate) and hands you one file. Extracting a few pages into one file → Page Organizer; breaking the document apart → Split PDF.
Examples
- Drop in PDF(s) → pick a mode & ranges (per file) → download splits or a ZIP

Limitations
- Bookmarks inside the selected range are kept in each output file.
- Split by page range (e.g. 1-3,5), every N pages, per page, or evenly into N parts.
- Thumbnail page picking is per file (file tabs), showing the first 30 pages of each file — type any page numbers directly in the range field; files without their own picking use the default range string. Picking is session-scoped: it resets when you drop a new batch or reload the page.
- Anonymous uploads have a per-file size cap (the exact value is shown in the tool area; higher when signed in).
- Processed locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
