How to split PDF pages online for free?

To split PDF pages online, upload your document to our [Split PDF](/pdf-tools/split-pdf) tool. Select whether you want to extract custom page ranges or separate all pages. Click the split button and download the resulting files. If you want to combine files instead, try our dedicated [Merge PDF](/pdf-tools/merge-pdf) tool.

Can I separate specific pages from a protected PDF?

Yes. If a PDF is protected, you will need to input the password to unlock it in the preview screen, allowing the tool to parse and separate the pages securely.

Is there a limit on how many pages I can split?

No, there are no page number limits. You can split documents containing hundreds of pages, since the parsing is handled locally in your browser tab.

Does the PDF splitter retain the original quality?

Yes. The layout, fonts, graphics, and structure of the original pages are preserved perfectly in the output files without any visual quality loss.

Are my files uploaded to a remote server?

No. All PDF splitting operations run locally in your web browser using JavaScript WebAssembly. Your files are never sent to a cloud server, ensuring 100% data privacy.

Split PDF - Separate PDF Pages Online Free

Split PDF files online for free. Extract specific pages or divide a large PDF into multiple separate documents instantly. Safe client-side splitter with zero file uploads. Large ebooks, legal contract books, and corporate accounting files often need to be split into separate documents so they can be sent to different clients or departments. By splitting your PDF, you separate specific page ranges or extract every sheet into its own document. Our online splitting tool lets you define custom page groups (like pages 1-5, and pages 8-12) or extract all sheets at once. All calculations run locally in your web browser, keeping your documents confidential.

FROM
Input PDF Document

Upload a multi-page PDF document to isolate individual pages or group specific page ranges. The PDF standard packages pages, text blocks, structural margins, and image objects into a unified file structure designed for printing. However, this structure makes extracting individual pages without dedicated software highly difficult. Standard PDF viewers do not support extraction, requiring users to purchase expensive software. Converting multi-page PDFs to isolated, target files simplifies document distribution.

• Fully supports standard PDF formats including multipage reports, ebooks, and scanned pages
• Processes password-encrypted files locally once the user input password is provided
• Handles single document uploads up to 50MB with efficient browser memory caching
• Identifies page structures automatically to suggest clean partitioning coordinates
• Requires no registration, account creation, or email signup to start splitting

TO
Separated PDF Output Files

Generates isolated PDF documents containing selected pages, optimized for fast file sharing and printing. The output PDFs are compiled by copying the targeted catalog objects, resources, and page coordinates into new documents. Since this operation does not re-compress page contents, the outputs keep their original visual clarity and fonts. This makes it ideal for sending targeted reports, isolating invoice receipts, or splitting large textbooks into manageable chapters.

• Only includes chosen page ranges, removing irrelevant sheets from the output
• Maintains full vector rendering quality, preventing page blur or pixelation issues
• Significantly lighter file footprints that speed up sharing and web access speeds
• Keeps internal hyperlinks, structural bookmarks, and clickable link fields
• Fully compatible with standard PDF readers, mobile tablets, and desktop engines
