Split PDF Files Online
Do you have a large PDF document and only need specific pages? Or do you want to break a PDF down into individual files, one for each page? Our Split PDF tool makes it effortless to extract exactly what you need.
How to Split a PDF
1. Upload Your PDF
- Click on the upload area or drag and drop your PDF file.
- The tool will instantly load and display a thumbnail view of every page in your document.
2. Choose Your Mode
We offer two powerful ways to split your document:
Mode A: Extract Selected Pages
Use this mode if you want to create a new PDF containing only specific pages from the original.
- ensure "Extract Selected" is active (default).
- Click on the pages you want to keep. Selected pages will have a purple checkmark.
- You can also use "Select All" or "Clear" to manage your selection quickly.
Mode B: Separate All Pages
Use this mode if you want to turn every single page into its own separate PDF file.
- Click "Separate All".
- No selection is needed – the tool automatically prepares to split the entire document.
- The result will be a ZIP file containing each page as an individual PDF (e.g.,
page_1.pdf,page_2.pdf).
3. Split and Download
- Click the "Split PDF" button.
- Once processing is complete, download your new file(s).

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I split password-protected PDFs?
For security reasons, we cannot process encrypted files. You must remove the password protection before using this tool.
Is there a page limit?
The tool relies on your browser's memory, so it can handle most standard documents (hundreds of pages) easily. Extremely large files (1000+ pages) might depend on your device's capabilities.
Will the quality of the specific pages be reduced?
No. The extraction process copies the original page data exactly, preserving full quality, text, and images.
