Split PDF

Cut a PDF into separate parts or pull out just the pages you want, downloaded together as a zip.

Loading tool…

Splitting is really two different jobs. Sometimes you want to cut a document into parts at chosen boundaries; sometimes you only want a handful of pages out of a long file and don't care about the rest. This tool covers both, and returns multiple outputs as a single zip so you're not clicking through twenty download prompts.

Pages are copied, not re-encoded: text stays selectable, images keep their original resolution and nothing is rasterised in the process.

How it works

  1. Open the PDF you want to cut.
  2. Choose split points, or type the page ranges you want to extract (for example 1-3, 8, 12-20).
  3. Check the preview so you're cutting where you think you are.
  4. Download the parts — several files arrive as one zip.

What people use it for

  • Pulling the three relevant pages out of a 90-page tender document to send to a colleague.
  • Breaking a scanned book into chapters before archiving.
  • Separating a bank statement into monthly files.

Frequently asked questions

Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The file is opened by JavaScript and WebAssembly running inside your own browser tab. It is never uploaded, there is no server-side processing and nothing is stored — closing the tab discards everything.
What page-range syntax is accepted?
Comma-separated single pages and hyphenated ranges, for example 1-3, 8, 12-20. Numbering is 1-based and follows the pages as displayed, not any printed page numbers inside the document.
I need to split at a fixed interval, not at chosen points.
Use Split every N pages — it cuts every N pages automatically, which is what you want for repeating forms or duplex scans.
Can I split so each part stays under an email size limit?
Yes, but with a different tool: Split by size takes a maximum size and produces as many parts as needed to stay under it.
