Split a PDF
Break one PDF into several, entirely on your device. Four ways to cut: every page becomes its own file, fixed chunks of N pages, a clean split in half, or custom ranges you type (like 1-3, 4-6, 7-last) — one output file per range.
Splitting locally matters more here than for most PDF tasks: the documents people split — contracts, medical records, bank statements — are exactly the ones that shouldn’t sit in an upload queue on a stranger’s server.

How it works
- Drop your PDF above.
- Pick how to cut it: every page, every N pages, in half, or custom ranges.
- Click “Split PDF” — the summary line tells you how many files you’ll get before you commit.
- Download parts one by one, or grab everything as a single ZIP.
Which split mode do you actually want?
Every page is for feeding single pages into systems that demand one-page uploads (expense tools, some government portals). Every N suits batch-scanned paperwork where each document is a known length — scan 40 two-page invoices in one run, split every 2, and you have 20 clean files. In half is the quick fix for a scan that accidentally captured two documents. Custom ranges is the general case: chapters, exhibits, or “pages 12–18 for the accountant”.
Ranges accept open ends and the word last, so 7-last works without counting pages. Ranges may overlap — 1-4, 3-8 produces two files that share pages 3 and 4, which is occasionally exactly what you need for overlapping excerpts.
Good to know
- Part files are named
yourname-part01.pdf,-part02… with zero-padding, so they sort correctly in any file manager. - The ZIP download stores the PDFs without recompression — PDFs are already compressed internally, so zipping them again would only waste time.
Frequently asked questions
Can I split a 500-page PDF into 500 files?
Yes. Every-page mode handles large documents fine; the ZIP download keeps 500 files manageable. The work runs locally, so speed depends on your device — a few seconds for typical documents, longer for huge scans.
Do the split files keep the original quality?
Yes — pages are copied into the new files without re-rendering. Text stays text, scans keep their resolution. Each part also sheds resources it doesn’t use, so parts are often smaller than a proportional share of the original.
How do I split at a specific page, say everything before and after page 12?
Use custom ranges: 1-11, 12-last. One file per range, done.
Why did my split parts lose the fill-in form fields?
Splitting copies pages into fresh documents, and interactive form structures that live at the document level don’t always survive that trip. The visible content is preserved. If you need a filled form to stay exactly as filled, flatten it first, then split.
