How to split a PDF into pages

  1. 1

    Open the PDF

    Drag the file onto the drop area or click to select it. The PDF is read by your browser and is not sent to any server.

  2. 2

    Tick the pages

    Every page starts selected. Untick the ones you don't want to extract and keep only the pages you need.

  3. 3

    Click Split PDF

    Each selected page becomes its own PDF with the same quality as the original: text, images and fonts are copied without recompression.

  4. 4

    Save the files

    The files download as page_1.pdf, page_2.pdf and so on. If your browser asks, allow multiple downloads.

Extract PDF pages without uploading the file

Contracts, bank statements, invoices and personal documents shouldn't travel through unknown servers just to pull out one page. This PDF splitter runs the pdf-lib library inside your browser: the file is opened, the pages are copied and the new PDFs are created on your device. That is why it keeps working even offline once the page has loaded, with no usage limits and no watermark.

Since nothing is recompressed, every extracted page keeps exactly the original content. Text stays selectable, links within the page keep working and images don't lose resolution.

When splitting a PDF helps

  • Sending only the signed page of a contract instead of the whole document.
  • Separating one receipt or invoice from a file that holds several months.
  • Attaching specific pages to portals that limit upload size.
  • Handing out chapters or exercises from a workbook to each student.
  • Removing blank or duplicate pages from a scan.

What if I want several pages together in one file?

The splitter creates one PDF per page. To build a new document with just some pages, say pages 2, 5 and 7, split the PDF and then use the PDF Merger from this same collection to join the pages you picked in any order. Both tools run in your browser, so the document still never leaves your computer.

If your real problem is file size rather than page count, remember that scanned PDFs are usually large because every page is an image. Extracting only the pages you need already makes the attachment much smaller.

Split PDF FAQ

How do I separate PDF pages online for free?

Open the PDF on this page, keep the pages you want selected and click Split PDF. Each selected page downloads as its own PDF file.

Is my PDF uploaded to the internet?

No. All the processing happens in your browser. The file is never sent to or stored on a server.

Is there a page or file limit?

There is no usage limit. Very large PDFs are only limited by your device's memory.

Does the page quality change?

No. Pages are copied from the original without recompression, so text and images stay identical.

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

PDFs with an opening password must be unlocked first; the tool does not break document protection.

Why does my browser ask about downloading multiple files?

Each page becomes a separate file. Some browsers ask once for permission when a site downloads several files in a row.
