Split a PDF into single pages or custom page ranges.
Page-preserving processing runs locally. This workspace supports up to 50 PDFs, 200 total source/output pages and 200 MiB per batch. Encrypted PDFs and interactive form/signature fields are rejected; the original is never flattened automatically. Check internal links and bookmarks in the output.

What PDF Splitter is useful for
✓Organising pages before submission or sharing
✓Creating a clean working copy of a PDF
✓Keeping only the pages and order you actually need
Input and output checks
Accepted input: pdf.
✓Open the downloaded output before deleting or replacing the source file.
✓Check the details that matter for your use: page count, dimensions, orientation, text, duration or metadata.
✓For batch jobs, confirm every queued file produced the expected output.
✓If quality or size matters, compare more than one settings combination before choosing the final copy.
How to use this calculator: PDF Splitter
1Choose your PDF files. Merger needs at least two; the page workspace validates every source before processing.
2Review the numbered page grid. Source file and source page remain visible beneath every preview.
3Choose single pages, custom range groups or a fixed page count. Checking specific pages overrides that mode and exports only the checked pages individually.
4Review the output plan, run the operation and check the verified page count and source-to-output mapping.
5Preview and download the generated PDF(s). Keep the originals and review links and document-level features.
Worked conversion example
Example: upload a 20-page PDF and select pages 3–7. The engine returns the five selected pages as the configured output while leaving the uploaded original unchanged.

Effect
Split mode
One file per page
Changes how the output is encoded or arranged; preview the result before relying on it.
Ranges (e.g. 1-3, 4, 5-8)
Each comma creates a separate PDF. Applied to every input PDF; out-of-range groups stop the whole job.
Pages per file
2
Fixed-pages mode only. A five-page PDF at 2 pages per file creates 2 + 2 + 1 pages.
How the browser process works
Split a PDF into single pages or custom page ranges. The page sends the selected file and settings to its pdf-split browser engine, creates a new output and downloads it without overwriting the source.
Page-preserving processing runs locally. This workspace supports up to 50 PDFs, 200 total source/output pages and 200 MiB per batch. Encrypted PDFs and interactive form/signature fields are rejected; the original is never flattened automatically. Check internal links and bookmarks in the output.
Privacy, quality checks and limitations
Keep the original file until the downloaded output has been opened and checked.
Verify page count, orientation, dimensions, text legibility, audio/video duration and metadata relevant to your use.
Browser-local processing reduces routine upload exposure, but your device, browser extensions and download location still matter.
A converted preview is not proof of legal authenticity, archival compliance, accessibility or digital-signature validity.

A result you can check
A 5-page PDF split into 2 pages per file produces 2 + 2 + 1 pages. Custom groups 1-2, 3-5 produce two PDFs; checked thumbnails instead export only those checked pages, one file per page.
A range must exist in every selected source when using range mode. The whole job stops on a bad group rather than quietly omitting it. Source page numbers and output parts are recorded in the result mapping.
The browser copies original PDF page content without rasterising it. It rejects encrypted PDFs and interactive form/signature fields rather than flattening them or producing a misleading replacement. Work on a page-only copy when appropriate; retain the interactive/signed original. Files are not uploaded. Maximum: 50 files, 200 total source/output pages, 200 MiB per job.
