Split PDF

Use this Split PDF tool to upload one PDF, define page ranges like 1-3 or 7-9, and export separate PDF files directly in your browser. Files stay local to your device during processing.

Files are processed locally in your browser and are never uploaded.

Upload a single PDF, then enter the page groups you want to split into separate files.

Split outputs

Prepare split files

Upload one PDF and define the page groups you want to split into separate files.

Range-based splitting is an estimate-grade browser workflow. Forms, bookmarks, embedded attachments, and other advanced PDF features may not behave exactly the same in every split output.

How this calculator works

This tool reads one PDF in the browser, interprets the page ranges you provide, and creates a separate PDF output for each range. That can be useful for chapter extraction, form separation, batch scan cleanup, or sharing only the pages someone actually needs.

Because the output is range-based, the most important input is still planning the page groups clearly. The Split PDF guide is a good companion if you want to think through that workflow more carefully.

What the result means

When the split succeeds, each requested range becomes its own downloadable PDF. The result area shows how many outputs were created and the approximate total size of those generated files.

That makes it easier to confirm that your page grouping worked the way you intended before you download or share the outputs.

Important limitations

This is a practical browser-based split workflow, not a full PDF editing environment. Advanced features such as forms, bookmarks, attachments, or internal navigation may not behave identically in every split output.

Very large PDFs may also run into browser memory limits depending on the device and the document itself.

When to use this calculator

Use Split PDF when one large file needs to become smaller, more targeted PDFs for email, upload, internal routing, or record organization.

If you need the opposite workflow, where several files become one, use Merge PDF.

FAQs

Are my PDFs uploaded to a server during splitting?

No. Files are processed locally in your browser and are never uploaded by this tool.

How do I enter page ranges?

Use commas to separate outputs, such as 1-3, 4, 7-9. Each item becomes a separate downloadable PDF.

Can I split one PDF into several new PDFs at once?

Yes. Each page range you provide becomes its own separate output file.

Will advanced PDF features always carry over cleanly?

Not always. Basic page extraction usually works well, but forms, bookmarks, metadata, and other advanced features can vary.

Is this tool giving legal or professional document advice?

No. It is a browser-based utility tool only and does not provide legal, compliance, or records-management advice.
