Split PDF is a 100% free, browser-based utility that enables you to extract pages or split a pdf into several files. Unlike traditional cloud converters, all processing executes locally on your device with zero server uploads, delivering immediate results and ironclad data privacy.
About the Split PDF
Split PDF breaks a document into smaller files. Extract every page as its own PDF, cut a long document into chunks of a fixed number of pages, or pull out exactly the pages you need using ranges such as "1-3, 5, 8-".
When a split produces several files you can download them all at once as a single ZIP archive. All processing happens locally in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write page ranges?
Separate items with commas. Use a hyphen for ranges, e.g. "1-3, 5, 9-12". An open range such as "8-" means page 8 to the last page.
Does splitting change the content of the pages?
No. Pages are copied exactly as they are, including text, images, links and annotations.
Why is the result a ZIP file?
When the split creates more than one PDF, they are packed into a single ZIP so you only need one download. You can also download each file individually.
