Split a PDF Into Separate Files
Free & private · no signup · no watermarks · files deleted in 1 hour
Need to break a large PDF into smaller, more manageable files? Our Split PDF tool gives you surgical precision over how your document is divided. Enter individual page numbers, comma-separated lists (1,3,5), or ranges (2-7) to extract exactly the pages you need. You can split every page into its own file, extract a single chapter, or isolate a form from a multi-page package — the choice is yours.
Each resulting file preserves the original quality, fonts, images, and formatting of the source document. Download pages as individual PDFs or grab everything at once in a ZIP archive. Particularly useful for separating invoices, isolating contracts from bundled documents, or distributing specific chapters of a report to different teams.

Frequently Asked Questions About Split PDF
Everything you need to know about our Split PDF tool
Yes, completely free. Our Split PDF tool has no hidden costs, no watermarks, and no registration requirement. You can process as many files as you need, each up to 100MB, at no charge. We believe professional PDF tools should be accessible to everyone — students, freelancers, and businesses alike.
Your files are fully protected. All uploads and downloads use 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption during transfer. Processing happens on our isolated Hetzner server infrastructure in Germany — your file is never shared, analysed for commercial purposes, or stored longer than necessary. Every uploaded and processed file is automatically and permanently deleted within one hour of processing.
Supported file types: This tool accepts PDF files up to 100MB each. For files larger than 100MB, use our Compress PDF tool first.
Portable Document Format
Yes — works on any device. The interface is fully responsive and tested on desktop, tablet, and mobile. Touch-friendly upload areas, drag-and-drop support on desktop, and mobile-optimised buttons mean you get the same experience whether you are on a MacBook, an iPad, or an Android phone. No app download is ever required — open your browser and go.
Both options are available. You can split every page into its own file automatically, or enter a custom range like 1-5, 7, 10-15 to extract specific sections as separate PDFs. The tool produces one file per range or page and packages everything in a ZIP archive for convenient downloading. No quality or formatting is lost during splitting.
