Everything Split PDF can do
Pull a page range out of a PDF, or turn every page into a file of its own. Free, online, nothing to install.
Two ways to split
- Every page separately, as one single-page PDF per page
- Just these pages, gathered into one new PDF
- Both modes work from the same file
Naming the pages
- Single pages, ranges, or both together: 1-3, 7, 12-14
- Commas or semicolons, spaced however you type them
- Pages come out in document order, each one only once
- The page box is checked as you type it
What comes out
- Separate pages arrive together in a ZIP
- Each file in the ZIP named by its page number
- A range comes back as a single new PDF
- The result screen says how many pages or files you got
- Several PDFs split at once, each in its own folder of one ZIP
What each page keeps
- Text stays selectable, not flattened to a picture
- Fonts, images and vector art copied across untouched
- Every page keeps its own size and rotation
- Your original document is left as it was
- Done in your browser, so your file is never uploaded

Frequently asked questions about Split PDF
How do I extract pages from a PDF?
Choose "Just these pages", type the pages you want, for example 1-3, 7, and press Split PDF. You get one new PDF containing only those pages, in the order they appear in the document, whatever order you typed them in. The original is left as it was.
How do I write a page range?
Hyphens for runs, commas for separate pages: "2-5, 9, 14-18". Pages are numbered from 1.
What is the difference between splitting and deleting pages?
Splitting produces new files and leaves the original alone. Delete Pages gives you the same document with pages removed. If you want to keep most of the document, Delete Pages is more direct.
Do I get one file back or several?
That depends on which you asked for. Naming a range gives you a single PDF containing those pages. Splitting every page gives you a zip with one PDF per page inside it, each named after the page it came from.
Can I split a PDF into several files by page range?
One range per run: whatever you type becomes a single PDF. To cut a document into, say, pages 1-10 and 11-20 as two files, run it twice, once with each range. "Every page separately" is the mode that returns many files at once.
Do the split pages keep their quality?
Yes. The pages are copied as they are. Text stays selectable, images keep their original resolution, and nothing is compressed.
Can I do many files at once?
Yes. Add up to 10 PDFs at once, or up to 50 when you are signed in (an account is free). They are all split the same way, and you download one ZIP with a folder for each PDF. The whole set counts as one task. If one file cannot be split, for example because it has a password, the others still finish, and the result screen says which file it was and why.
What happens to my file?
It stays on your device. Your browser does the work and makes the download, so the file is never uploaded. We keep a record that the tool was used, but not the file name or what is in the file.
Is it free?
Yes. Every tool works without paying and without an account. Files can be up to 200 pages and 50 MB, and a run that fails costs you nothing. Pro removes the limits.
Do I need to create an account?
No. All tools work without signing in. An account raises your allowance and lets you see what you have processed.
