Download the files
Click Split PDF and you'll get a ZIP with one PDF for each part, named after the pages it contains.
Frequently asked questions
- Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Splitting happens in your browser on your own device, so the document never reaches our servers or anyone else's.
- How do I split a PDF into single pages?
Add your file, leave the Split every box at 1 page and click Apply, then click Split PDF. You'll get a ZIP with one file per page.
- How do I keep just a few pages from a PDF?
The organize tool is quicker for that. Remove the pages you don't need and download what's left as a new PDF.
Rotate and organize pages- Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Protected PDFs can't be split here. Save a copy without the password from your PDF reader first, then add that copy.
