How to split a PDF online
Split a PDF into separate files by adding page break points. Preview pages and download every result privately in your browser.
Adjust the output
Use a split point after any page, split every page at once, or create groups with a fixed page count.
Create the PDF
Each output file can be renamed before processing, which is useful for chapters, invoices, handouts, and scanned packets.
Private browser processing
The PDF stays in your browser. The page does not need an account or upload the document to a conversion server.
Choose the right way to split a PDF
Splitting a PDF can mean creating one file per page, separating a few page ranges, or breaking a long document into equal groups. The best method depends on how the new files will be shared and named.
Split at page break points
Add a break after each page where a new document should begin. This is useful when one scan contains several contracts, invoices, statements, or chapters with different lengths.
Create one PDF for every page
Use the one-page option for worksheets, tickets, certificates, or forms that need to be distributed separately. Review the generated file names before downloading the ZIP archive.
Divide a PDF into equal page groups
Fixed-size groups work well for batching a long report into predictable parts. If the final group contains fewer pages, it is still exported as its own PDF.
Split PDF versus extract pages
Use Split PDF when you want several outputs from one source. Use Extract PDF Pages when you only need one new document containing a selected set of pages.

Split PDF Online FAQ
Can I split every page into its own PDF?
Yes. Use the Split every page action to create one PDF per page.
Can I choose custom file names?
Yes. Every planned output has an editable file name before processing.
Are my files uploaded?
No. PDF processing runs locally in the browser.
Can I split a PDF by page range?
Yes. Add split points around the ranges you want, then review the planned outputs before processing.
Will splitting a PDF reduce page quality?
No. Pages are copied into new PDF files instead of being converted into images.
What is the difference between splitting and extracting PDF pages?
Splitting creates several output files. Extracting creates one new PDF from the pages you select.
Can I split a large PDF on a phone?
The page works in modern mobile browsers, but large documents may exceed the memory available on a phone. A desktop browser is more reliable for very large files.
