To split a PDF, drop it in, click Split PDF, and every page becomes its own file. Then download only the pages you want. It all happens in your browser, so the document is never uploaded.
Why would you split a PDF into pages?
Usually you need one page out of a much bigger file, and sending the whole thing feels wrong.
- One invoice out of a batch that came as a single scan.
- A single form from a long application packet.
- One chapter or one signed page, without the rest of the report.
- Pages you plan to rearrange or rotate one at a time.
How to split a PDF
- Click Select File, or drag your PDF into the drop zone.
- Click Split PDF. Your browser separates the document into one PDF per page.
- Download the pages you need. Each one has its own download button.
What you get after splitting
Each page is copied into a new one-page PDF exactly as it was, so nothing is re-rendered or compressed. Text stays selectable and the quality matches the original.
Because every page is now a standalone file, links and bookmarks that pointed to other pages in the original won't work in the pieces. The page content itself is unaffected.
This tool splits every page. If you only want to throw a few pages away, Delete PDF Pages is quicker, since you get one finished file back.
Tips and common problems
- You want pages 3 to 6 as one file. Split, download those pages, and join them with Merge PDF.
- The file will not split. It may be password protected. Files that only block printing or copying can go through Unlock PDF first.
- It is slow. Very long documents take longer because every page is processed on your device. A laptop handles hundreds of pages, while an older phone may struggle.
- The pieces are in the wrong order. Use Reorder PDF Pages on the combined file.
Frequently asked questions
How do I split a PDF into separate pages for free?
Drop the PDF into the tool and click Split PDF. You get a separate one-page PDF for every page, each with its own download button. It's free, and there is no watermark or sign-up.
Can I extract just pages 2 to 5 instead of every page?
The tool splits all pages, so you download the ones you want and skip the rest. To make one file from several pages, join the pieces with Merge PDF.
Will splitting reduce the quality of my pages?
No. Pages are copied as they are. Nothing is rendered again or compressed, so text and images look the same as in the original.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Yes. A scanned PDF is a set of page images, and each one becomes its own file just like a text-based page would.
What happens to bookmarks and links inside the PDF?
They don't carry over to the split pages, because their targets now live in separate files. The visible content of every page stays intact.
Is there a limit on the number of pages?
No fixed limit. Your device's memory is what counts, so very long documents may take a little longer.
