What does this tool do?

This free PDF splitter extracts exactly the pages you need from any PDF — pick individual pages or ranges like 1-3, 7, 12-15, or split every page into its own file. Page thumbnails make selection visual, and the whole operation runs privately in your browser.

How does the split pdf work?

PDF.js renders page thumbnails for visual selection, then pdf-lib copies your chosen pages into new PDF documents without re-rendering — so extracted pages retain perfect original quality, selectable text, and embedded fonts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I extract just one page from a PDF?

Drop the PDF, click the thumbnail of the page you want (or type its number), and hit Extract. You get a new one-page PDF at identical quality. This is the clean way to share a single contract page or form without sending the whole document.

Can I split a PDF into individual pages all at once?

Yes — choose "split all pages" mode and a 30-page PDF becomes 30 single-page files, downloaded together as a ZIP. Useful for distributing certificates, invoices, or report cards that were generated as one bulk file.

Is the PDF splitter really free?

Yes — 100% free with no hidden charges, trial limits, or premium tiers for core features. No account or email needed. The site is supported by non-intrusive display ads, which keeps every tool free for everyone.

Are my files private when using the PDF splitter?

Completely. The PDF splitter processes everything locally in your browser — your files are never uploaded to any server. When you close the tab, everything is gone. This makes it safe for confidential documents, client work, and personal photos.

Does the PDF splitter work on mobile phones?

Yes. It's built mobile-first and works on any modern phone browser — iPhone (Safari) and Android (Chrome) included. You can pick files straight from your camera roll and download results directly to your device.

Do I need to install any software to use the PDF splitter?

No. The PDF splitter runs entirely in your web browser — no downloads, extensions, or signup. Open the page, use the tool, download your result. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, and Android.
