How to split a PDF

  1. Add your PDF by dropping it in the box above, or click to browse and pick it.
  2. Your PDF opens already set to split into single pages. Tap a scissor between two pages to remove or add a cut there, or open Split points to split every page in one tap or type custom ranges like 1-3, 4-8.
  3. Click the split button at the bottom. It shows your file count, like Split into 3 files, or Download PDF if you kept everything as one. One result downloads as a PDF; several arrive together in split.zip.

Everything runs on your device, so the split is fast and your file stays private, even with no internet once the page has loaded.

Split by tapping, or every page

Your PDF opens already set to split into single pages, so every page becomes its own file. Tap a scissor between two pages to remove that cut and keep those pages together, or tap an empty gap to add one back. Cuts after page 3 and page 8, for example, give three files: pages 1-3, pages 4-8, and page 9 to the end. You can see every cut on the page grid before you download.

Need something specific? Open Split points to split every page in one tap, join everything back into a single cut, or type ranges like 1-3, 4-6 and we set the cuts for you. Handy for breaking a long report into even chunks.

How to split a PDF in half or into equal parts

To split a file in half, open Split points, tap Merge into one to clear the cuts, then tap the one scissor in the middle. A 20-page file cut after page 10 gives you two 10-page files. For equal chunks, type ranges like 1-10, 11-20, 21-30 and each becomes its own file. For a page-per-file result, tap Split every page instead.

How to pull out specific pages

To keep just a few pages, cut right before and after them, then download that piece. If picking or deleting pages is the whole job, the Extract pages and Remove pages tools do it in one step.

Is it safe to split PDF files here?

Yes. Many free PDF sites upload your file to their own servers to do the work. This tool does not. Your PDF is read and split right inside your browser, so it is never uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone else. That makes it a safe choice for contracts, bank statements, medical records, and anything else you would not want sitting on a stranger's server.

How your split files are delivered

When your split creates a single file, it downloads on its own as a normal PDF. When it creates more than one, they are packaged into a single split.zip so you get one clean download instead of a pile of separate saves. Unzip it on your device to find each file inside, named in order.

Splitting password-protected PDFs

If a PDF opens on your device without asking for a password, it will split here without any extra steps. If a file is locked and needs a password just to open it, remove that protection first with our Unlock PDF tool, then bring the unlocked copy back here to split it.

What is kept, and what is not

Splitting copies your pages exactly, but a few document-level extras do not carry over. Here is the honest breakdown so there are no surprises:

  • Every page you select, at full quality: text stays sharp and selectable, images keep their resolution.
  • Clickable links inside your pages.
  • The bookmark outline (the contents list in the sidebar).
  • Interactive form fields: they are flattened to their printed look, so they are no longer fillable.
  • The original file's title and author details: each new file starts fresh.

Split now, recombine later

Splitting pairs naturally with the rest of the toolkit. Many people split a file, fix just the pages they need, then join everything back together with Merge PDF. To reorder or rotate pages inside a single document instead of cutting it apart, reach for Organize PDF or Rotate PDF.

Can I split a PDF on my phone?

Yes. This tool works in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, tablets, and computers, with nothing to install. Add your file the same way, set your cuts on the page grid, tap the split button, and the results save to your device.

Common ways people use Split PDF

  • Separating a scanned bundle of invoices or receipts into one file each.
  • Pulling a single chapter or section out of a long report or book.
  • Breaking a big document into smaller pieces that are easy to email.
  • Splitting a signed contract away from its cover letter and appendix.
  • Turning a multi-page scan into individual pages to share separately.

FAQs about Split PDF

Do my files get uploaded?

No. Your PDF is opened and split on your own device, inside the browser. It never goes to a server, so private files stay private. Close the tab and nothing is left behind.

How do I choose where the file splits?

When your PDF opens it is already set to split into single pages, one file per page. Tap a scissor between two pages to remove or add a split point there, so each split starts a new file. You can also open Split points to split every page in one tap, merge everything back into one, or type custom ranges like 1-3, 4-6.

How do I pull out one page or a few?

Cut right before and after the pages you want, then download that piece. If picking or deleting pages is the whole job, Extract pages and Remove pages do it in one step.

How do I split a PDF in half or at one page?

Open Split points and tap Merge into one to clear the automatic cuts, then tap the single scissor where you want the break. To halve a 10-page file, cut after page 5. You get two files: pages 1-5 and pages 6-10.

What is the difference between splitting and extracting a PDF?

Splitting cuts the whole document into pieces, so every page lands in one of the new files. Extracting pulls out only the pages you pick and leaves the rest behind. If you want to keep a few pages and drop the others, use Extract pages or Remove pages instead.

Can I split a PDF by chapter?

There is no automatic split-by-bookmark yet, so it does not read the chapter outline for you. If you know the page each chapter starts on, type them as ranges in Split points, like 1-15, 16-30, 31-50, and each chapter becomes its own file.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Once the page has loaded, the whole tool runs on your device, so you can turn off your wifi and it keeps splitting. Nothing is sent to a server at any point.

How are several files delivered?

If your split produces one file, it downloads as a single PDF. If it produces more, they are bundled into one split.zip so you get everything in a single download instead of many separate saves.

Will splitting lower the quality of my PDF?

No. Each page is copied exactly as it is into the new files. Text stays sharp and selectable and images keep their original resolution, because the pages are separated without being squeezed or re-saved.

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

If the PDF opens without asking for a password, it will split normally. If a file needs a password just to open it, remove that protection first with our Unlock PDF tool, then split the unlocked copy here.

Do the split files keep bookmarks, form fields, and links?

Clickable links inside the pages are kept. The bookmark outline (the contents list in the sidebar) and interactive form fields are not carried into the new files yet. Form fields are flattened into their printed appearance. All pages, text, and images stay exactly as they were.

Is there a page or size limit?

There is no fixed limit: no page cap, no file-size cap, and no paywall. Because the work happens in your browser, the only real constraint is the memory on your device, so a very large scanned file on an older phone is the main thing that can slow it down.

Is it free?

Yes. No sign-up, no watermark, no size limit. It works the same on phones, tablets, and computers in any modern browser.
