About Split PDF
Sometimes you only need part of a PDF. A long report may contain one chapter you want to share, an application may ask for a single page of a statement, or a scanned book may include pages you want to keep separately. This free split PDF tool lets you extract exactly the pages you need and save them as a new document. Type the pages you want, and the tool builds a clean PDF with only those pages, in the order you listed them. To pull out a single page, see how to save one page of a PDF.
Splitting happens entirely in your browser, so the original file is never uploaded or changed. That matters when you are working with contracts, medical records, or financial documents that should stay private. The extracted PDF carries no watermark, which makes it suitable for school, work, and official submissions. If you need several separate sections, run the tool once for each section — each run creates a fresh file from the same original.
Splitting works best when you know exactly which pages you need. Open the original PDF first and note the page numbers of the section you want, remembering that most readers number pages from one, including the cover. Write your selection as numbers and ranges separated by commas, and double-check the range before you extract, because a single typo can include an extra chapter or cut off the last page you need. If you need several separate sections, run the tool once for each one and give each download a clear name, such as chapter-2 or appendix-b, so the files stay organised. Split files are useful when a form asks for one page of a long statement, when a teacher wants a single chapter rather than a whole book, or when you want to share an excerpt without sending the entire document. Pair splitting with the merge tool when you need to rebuild a document in a new order: extract the sections you want, then merge them in the sequence that fits your reader.
When you need to split a PDF
Splitting usually starts with a file that is bigger than the job needs. A bank statement may cover a full year when a form only asks for the last three months. A teacher may want one chapter of a textbook, not the whole book. You might need the signed page of a contract, one section of a long report, or a single invoice from a bundled scan. In each case, sending the entire file means sharing pages the other person never asked for, and sometimes pages they should not see. Splitting solves that: you keep the original untouched, pull out exactly the pages that matter, and send a smaller file that is easier to email, upload, and read. It also helps when a portal sets a file size limit, because a few pages weigh far less than the full document. If the extracted pages later need to join other files, use Merge PDF to rebuild one document, and our guide to splitting PDF pages online walks through each split mode with examples.

Frequently asked questions
Is splitting a PDF free?
Yes. Splitting is free, with no account, payment, or watermark.
How do I write a page range?
Use numbers and ranges separated by commas, for example 1-3, 6, 9-10. Pages are numbered from 1.
Can I extract pages that are not next to each other?
Yes. List each page or range separated by commas and they will all be included in the new PDF.
Does the original PDF change?
No. The original file is never modified. You get a brand-new PDF with only the pages you chose.
What if I enter a page number that does not exist?
The tool will show an error and ask for page numbers between 1 and the total page count.
What split modes are available?
Four: page ranges into one file, every page into its own file, split every N pages, or split into N equal parts. The last three download as a ZIP file.
Can I split a PDF on my phone?
Yes. Open this page in your phone browser, choose the PDF from your files or downloads, and enter the pages you need. The steps match the desktop version, and the extracted file saves straight to your device.
Will splitting lower the quality of my pages?
No. Pages are copied into the new file without being re-compressed, so text, images, and layout stay exactly as they were in the original PDF.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Not directly. A protected file cannot be opened in the browser, so remove the password first with the app that created the file, then split the unlocked copy here.
