How to split a PDF in your browser
- Add your PDF. Drop it in or browse, it stays on your device.
- Choose a split method. Custom ranges, every N pages, or one file per page.
- Split & download. One file downloads directly; multiple files come back as a single zip.
Why split PDFs in the browser instead of an online uploader?
Most free PDF splitters upload your document to their servers, cap how many files you can make, or push a signup. For anything sensitive, contracts, statements, scans of IDs, that's a real privacy risk. This tool runs entirely on your own device, so the file never travels over the internet, there are no limits, and it works even offline once the page has loaded. It pairs with the Merge PDF tool: split a document apart, then merge the pieces back when you're done.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The split happens inside your browser on your own device. Your PDF is never sent over the internet or stored on a server, which makes it safe for confidential documents and means it keeps working even if your connection drops.
How do I split a PDF into separate files?
Add your PDF, choose how to split it, custom ranges like 1-3, 4-6, 7-10 (each group becomes its own file), every N pages, or one file per page, then click Split. If the result is more than one file you get a single zip containing all of them.
Can I extract just a few pages from a PDF?
Yes. Use "Custom ranges" and enter the pages you want, e.g. 2-5. A single range produces a single PDF with just those pages, so it doubles as a page-extractor.
What is the difference between this and the Merge tool?
Splitting takes one PDF apart into several files; merging combines several files into one. They are opposites and pair naturally, split a document, edit the parts, then merge them back together, all without ever uploading anything.
Is there a page or file size limit?
No artificial limit, no signup, no daily cap, no watermark. Everything runs on your device, so the only real ceiling is your computer’s memory. Typical documents split in a second or two.
