Split a PDF online:separate pages into their own files
Break one PDF into many. Pull out a range of pages, cut the document every N pages, or separate every page into its own file. Free, no signup.
The split happens in your browser. Your PDF is not uploaded to a server, and the separated files download straight to your device.
Free to use: one PDF at a time, up to 50 MB. One split is one of your 10 free files a day however many pieces you cut it into, and no watermark on the results.

By ranges (1-3, 4-7), every N pages, or one file per page.

How to split a PDF file
The three steps above handle most jobs. Below are the cases people actually search for: cutting in half, one file per page, locked files, statements, and what happens to bookmarks.
Open the PDF you want to split
Drag one PDF onto the upload card, or click it to browse. The file can be up to 50 MB, and the page count shows up as soon as it is read.
The file is read straight into the browser tab. There is no upload step, so a 40 MB scan is ready about as fast as a two-page letter.
Split a PDF by page ranges
Pick "By ranges" and type the ranges you want, like 1-3, 4-7, 9. Each range becomes its own PDF, named after the pages it holds.
Single pages are allowed in the same box. Typing 1, 5, 9 gives you three one-page files. If a number is larger than the page count, the tool says so instead of guessing.
Split a PDF in half
There is no dedicated half button, and you do not need one. A 40-page document splits down the middle with the range 1-20, 21-40. "Every N pages" with N set to half the total does the same thing in one number.
Split a PDF every N pages
Use this when the document is made of equal chunks: two-page invoices, four-page contracts, six-page lab reports. Set the pages-per-file number and the tool tells you how many files you will get before you run it. The last file holds the remainder if the total does not divide evenly.
Split a PDF into single pages
"Each page" mode turns a 30-page document into 30 one-page PDFs, each named with its page number.
One honest warning: your browser gets 30 separate downloads in a row. Most browsers ask permission once, then allow the rest for that session. The downloads are spaced out slightly so nothing gets dropped.
Pull out one page and leave the rest alone
The source file is never changed. Splitting reads it and writes new files, so the original on your disk stays exactly as it was. If you only want one page and not the leftovers, the extract tool is a faster way to click through it.

Split a PDF without uploading it to a server
Most split tools work by sending your document to their servers, cutting it there, and deleting the copy after some hours. For a bank statement, a payslip, or a signed contract, that is a copy you cannot see and cannot check.
This tool cuts the file inside your browser tab. Nothing is sent anywhere, so there is no retention window to trust and no account to delete afterwards.
Split a password-protected PDF
An encrypted PDF cannot be read until the password comes off, so the upload card turns it away and offers a link instead. Remove the password first, then split the unlocked copy.

Split a bank statement into one file per month
You can do it by hand here if you know the page ranges. If the statement runs across several months and you would rather not count pages, the statement splitter reads the dates and cuts it for you.

What happens to bookmarks, links, and form fields
Page content, images, and fonts are copied across as they are, so nothing is re-rendered and nothing loses quality. Bookmarks that point at pages outside a range have nowhere to land, and interactive form fields can be flattened when pages move into a new document. Fill a form before you split it, not after.
Put the pieces back together
If you cut too finely, the merge tool joins the parts back into one document. Splitting and merging are both lossless, so a round trip does not degrade the pages.

Why one piece is nearly as big as the original
Each split file carries the fonts and images that its pages actually use, and a shared font or a full-page background gets copied into every piece that needs it. That is normal. Running a piece through compression trims the leftovers.

Split a PDF on a phone
The page works the same in a mobile browser, with no app to install. Pick the PDF from your files app, a cloud drive, or a chat attachment. On a phone, splitting into many single pages is awkward because of the download prompts, so ranges are the friendlier mode there.
Split PDFs without a signup or a wait
No account, no email step, no link to wait for. The free plan covers 10 finished files a day, shared across every tool, and the count resets at midnight UTC. Pro removes it, which is what you want if twenty statements land at once.
Splitting PDFs, answered
How do I split a PDF online for free?
Drop your PDF onto the upload card, choose a split mode (by ranges, every N pages, or one file per page), and click Split. Each result gets its own download button, and none of it needs a signup.
How do I separate just a few pages from a PDF?
Type the pages you want as ranges, like 2-4, 9. Each range comes out as its own PDF, and your original file stays as it was. Single pages work too: list them one by one.
Is the split done in my browser?
Yes. Splitting runs client-side in your browser, and your file is not uploaded to any server during the split.
What does "by ranges" mean?
Type page ranges like 1-3, 4-7, 9 and each range becomes its own PDF. Mixing single pages in works fine: 1, 5, 9 produces three one-page files.
Can I split a 200-page PDF into 200 files?
Use "Each page" mode and you get exactly that: one file per page. The browser will queue 200 downloads, and most browsers ask once, then auto-allow the rest in the same session.
Do the split files have a watermark?
Never, on any plan. Each piece contains the pages you asked for and nothing added on top, so you can forward it as is.
Is there a limit on how many splits I can run?
The free plan covers 10 finished files a day, shared across every tool on the site, and the count resets at midnight UTC. Pro lifts it entirely. The other limit is file size: 50 MB per PDF.
Splitting a bank statement?
Our statement splitter separates a multi-month statement into one PDF per month, automatically.
