About Split PDF
Split PDF lets you extract specific pages from a PDF or break a long document into smaller files. Pull out a single contract clause, separate every chapter into its own PDF, or grab just the pages you need to email — without having to print or re-scan anything. The original document is never modified, and nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
How do I select pages to extract?+
Type page numbers separated by commas, and use a hyphen for ranges. For example, ‘1-3, 5, 8-10’ produces three separate PDF files.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?+
If the PDF requires a password to open, you’ll need to remove the password first. Encrypted files cannot be parsed in the browser.
Does splitting reduce the quality of my PDF?+
No. Each page is copied losslessly, so text remains selectable and images keep their original resolution.
Is there a limit on file size?+
Splitting runs locally, so the limit is whatever your browser can hold in memory — typically several hundred megabytes on modern devices.
