Split a PDF

Keep only the pages you need, or cut a long PDF into smaller files. The work is done on your own device, and your file is never sent to us or anyone else.

What you get

  • A PDF with just the pages you chose, in the order you typed them
  • Or a ZIP of smaller PDFs, one for every N pages
  • No upload, no account, no watermark

How it works

  1. Choose or drop one PDF file.
  2. Either type the pages to keep (for example 1-3, 5, 8-), or choose to cut the file every N pages.
  3. Download the new PDF, or a ZIP with all the parts. Your browser does the work, so nothing leaves your device.

Good to know

  • Page numbers are counted from the first page of the file, not the numbers printed on the pages.
  • Bookmarks (the outline panel) are not carried over to the new files, and links that jump to another page may not work afterwards.
  • Password-protected PDFs cannot be split. Remove the password first.
  • Very large files are limited by your device's memory, not by us.

Questions

Is my file uploaded?

No. Splitting runs in your browser tab using JavaScript. You can confirm this in your browser's network panel: no file data is sent while splitting.

How do I write the page list?

Use commas between pages or ranges: 1-3, 5, 8- means pages 1 to 3, page 5, and page 8 to the end. Pages come out in the order you type them.

How do I split every page into its own file?

Choose “Cut into parts” and set the number of pages per part to 1. You get a ZIP with one PDF per page.

Can I get the text or tables out instead of pages?

Yes. That is what the conversion tools on this site do: PDF to Markdown, Excel, JSON and more.

Need the content, not just the pages?
