Split PDF Online Free

Frequently asked questions

How do I split a PDF online?

Upload your PDF file. The tool loads it in your browser and splits it so each page becomes a separate PDF. Click the button to split, then download all pages as a single ZIP file. Everything runs in your browser; no data is sent to any server.

Are my PDFs sent to a server?

No. Splitting is done in your browser using pdf-lib. Your PDF never leaves your device.

Can I choose which pages to split?

This tool splits every page into its own PDF. You get one PDF per page, all bundled in a ZIP. If you need only certain pages, extract them from the ZIP after download.

What are the output file names?

Each page is saved as a separate PDF in the ZIP, named by page number (e.g. page-1.pdf, page-2.pdf). You can rename them after extracting the ZIP.

Does it work with password-protected PDFs?

Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first. Open the PDF with the correct password in another app, save without password, then use that copy here.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The tool runs in the mobile browser. Upload your PDF, split, and download the ZIP. No app install required.

Is there a page limit?

There is no fixed limit. Very long PDFs may take longer and use more memory. For typical documents (e.g. under 100 pages), splitting works well.

What is the difference between split and merge?

Split takes one PDF and creates separate PDFs (one per page), then packs them in a ZIP. Merge takes two or more PDFs and combines them into a single PDF. They are opposite operations.

Can I split only a range of pages?

This tool splits all pages. Each page becomes one PDF in the ZIP. If you need only pages 3–5, download the ZIP and keep only those files after extracting.

Is quality lost when splitting?

No. The tool copies each page as-is into a new PDF. Content and quality are preserved. No re-encoding or compression is applied.
