Split PDF
This PDF splitter extracts pages or ranges from a document. Every page, a selection of pages or several ranges can be exported; multiple results are packed into a ZIP so you get one download.

How to use this tool
- 1 Choose or drop a PDF; the page count appears automatically.
- 2 Pick “Every page”, “Ranges” or “Single range”.
- 3 For ranges, enter values such as 1-3,5,7-9.
- 4 Split and download the PDF or ZIP archive.
Formula and calculation logic
Range syntax
1-3,5,7-9
Commas separate output files and hyphens define inclusive ranges. Reversed ranges are accepted and normalised; pages outside the document are rejected.
Output
One PDF per range, or one PDF per page
Each range becomes its own document with the selected pages copied in order. When more than one file is produced, the results are bundled in a ZIP.
Worked example
Split every page
Each page of a scanned document must become its own file.
- Choose “Every page”
- Split
- Download the ZIP
The ZIP contains page-1.pdf, page-2.pdf and so on, one for each page.
Edge cases and accuracy
Encrypted files
Password-protected PDFs cannot be split until they are unlocked. The tool reports the problem instead of producing an empty document.
Ranges outside the document
A page number above the page count is rejected. Check the page count shown after the file loads.
Multiple downloads
Browsers block many rapid downloads, so multiple results are bundled into a single ZIP. Only a single-range split produces a plain PDF.
Frequently asked questions
How do I write page ranges? + −
Use commas between groups and a hyphen for ranges: 1-3,5,7-9. Each group becomes one output file.
Can I extract non-consecutive pages? + −
Yes. Enter them as separate comma-separated values, for example 1,4,8. They will be copied in that order into one document.
Why is the result a ZIP? + −
Splitting into many files would trigger multiple downloads. A ZIP bundles them so the browser asks only once.
Are the pages re-encoded? + −
No. Pages are copied into new PDF documents, so text remains selectable and image quality is unchanged.
Is my PDF uploaded? + −
No. Splitting happens entirely in your browser; the file never leaves your device.
