About this tool
This free online PDF splitter breaks a PDF into multiple separate files — one per page, or in fixed-size chunks — all in your browser with no upload and no watermark. The results are bundled into a single ZIP so you get one tidy download. Because the split happens on your device, your document stays completely private.
How to use
- Choose or drag in a PDF file.
- Pick "Every page" or "Every N pages" and set the size.
- Click Split PDF to generate the files.
- Download the ZIP containing every split PDF.
Split vs. extract
Use Split to turn one PDF into many files. If you only need a chosen set of pages pulled into a single new PDF, the Extract PDF Pages tool is the better fit.
Frequently asked questions
Is this PDF splitter free?
Yes — it's a completely free online tool to split a PDF, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limits.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The PDF is split entirely in your browser, so your file never leaves your device. It's safe for private and sensitive documents.
How are the split files delivered?
All the resulting PDFs are bundled into a single ZIP file so you get one clean download instead of many separate prompts.
What's the difference between 'Every page' and 'Every N pages'?
'Every page' creates one PDF per page. 'Every N pages' creates files of up to N pages each — for example, splitting a 10-page PDF into 5 files of 2 pages.
How is this different from extracting pages?
Split breaks a PDF into many separate files. If you instead want to pull a specific set of pages into one new PDF, use the Extract PDF Pages tool.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied as-is into the new files, so text stays selectable and images keep their original resolution.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The tool is responsive and runs locally, so you can split PDFs on a phone or tablet without an app.
