Split PDF

Splits a PDF into one file per page and hands them back as a single ZIP. A ten-page PDF becomes ten one-page PDFs, named after the original with page numbers appended. Processing is local, in your browser.

How to use

1. Pick or drop the PDF to split.
2. Click split — each page is copied into its own PDF.
3. Download the ZIP and extract it.
4. If you only need certain pages rather than all of them, use the extract tool instead.

When you actually need this

• Breaking a batch scan that combined many single-page documents back into individual files.
• Distributing one page each — certificates, invoices, tickets — to different recipients.
• Filing pages of a statement into separate folders per account or month.
• Preparing per-page files for a system that accepts only single-page PDFs.

Split versus extract

Splitting produces every page as its own file; extraction pulls a chosen range into one new file. For "pages 3 to 7 as one document", extraction is the tool — splitting then re-merging is the long way round. Pages are copied without re-rendering, so quality is untouched. The ZIP is assembled in memory in the browser; very large PDFs are limited only by your device's memory, not by any server quota.

FAQ

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere when I use Split PDF?

No. The file is opened and rewritten inside your browser, so contracts, invoices, medical records and anything else confidential never leave your device. This also means the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-task.

Does Split PDF preserve the original quality and text?

Yes. Pages are copied as they are, so vector text stays selectable and searchable rather than being flattened into an image. Only tools that explicitly re-encode images will change the visual data.

Can Split PDF open a password-protected PDF?

An encrypted PDF has to be unlocked before it can be processed. Open it in your PDF reader, save an unprotected copy, and then run that copy through the tool.
