Choose a file to convert. It's processed locally — never uploaded. Tip: add several files to convert them all at once.

{ } How to use
- Add a PDF.
- Optionally enter ranges like "1-3,4-6" — leave blank to split every page into its own file.
- Process to download a ZIP of the resulting PDFs.
{ } How ranges work
- Leave the field blank and every page becomes its own one-page PDF.
- Type comma-separated ranges — 1-3,4-6,7 — and each range becomes one file, in the order written.
- A range written backwards (6-4) keeps that reversed page order inside its file.
- Page numbers outside the document, and anything that is not a number or a range, are ignored rather than causing an error; a range that matches nothing is dropped.
- The same page may appear in several ranges — each part is built independently from the source.
{ } What the parts contain
Each part is a new PDF with the selected pages copied in, so text, fonts, images and page-level annotations are preserved exactly. The files are named part-01.pdf, part-02.pdf … inside split.zip. Bookmarks and document properties of the source are not carried into the parts.
{ } When to use Extract instead
If you want one new PDF holding a selection of pages — rather than several files — Extract PDF Pages produces a single download and skips the ZIP.
{ } Limits
- Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first (Unlock PDF).
- The whole document and all parts are held in memory while the ZIP is built; a very large scan on a low-memory phone may fail where a desktop browser succeeds.
{ } How it works
Split PDF works on the file you upload. Adjust the options, then select Process ▸ and it runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server — then shows the result in the Output panel.
Inputs
- PDF file — upload a file (.pdf); it is read locally in your browser
- Page ranges (blank = each page) — a value
Output
A downloadable ZIP file — use the Download button in the Output panel.
{ } Common uses
- Separate a scanned batch into individual documents.
- Pull each chapter into its own file.
- Send one page to each recipient.
{ } Limitations
- Because splitting produces multiple files, the output is a ZIP archive.
{ } Troubleshooting
My range wasn’t recognized.
Use plain numbers and hyphens, e.g. 1-3,4-6. Pages are 1-based.
I got too many files.
Leave the ranges blank only when you want every page separately; otherwise specify ranges.
{ } FAQ
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.
Can I process more than one file at once?
Yes — add several files and they’re all processed and downloaded together as a ZIP.
Is this tool free?
Yes — it’s completely free and needs no sign-up.
Why is the download a ZIP?
Splitting creates several PDFs, so they’re bundled into one ZIP for a single download.
What happens with a blank ranges field?
Every page becomes its own one-page PDF.
