PDFDrawerSplit PDF — separate pages into new files
To split a PDF, drop the file above, choose a page range like 1-3 or split into one file per page, and download the results — for example, pages 4-6 of a 10-page report become their own 3-page PDF, and the original file is not changed.
Ranges use page numbers starting at 1. In "one file per page" mode you can download each page separately or all of them in a single ZIP.
🔒 Your files never leave your device. This tool runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server, so the document you open is the only copy that ever exists.
How it works
- Drop the PDF you want to split into the box above.
- Pick a mode: one file containing the pages you list, or one separate file for every page.
- Click Split PDF and download your new file or files.
About this tool
Splitting is what you do when a document is bigger than the piece of it anyone actually needs: the one chapter of a manual, the two relevant pages of a bank statement, the single form buried inside a 90-page pack. Give the tool a range — 1-3, 5, 8-10 — and it builds a new PDF containing exactly those pages, in order, at their original quality. Or choose one file per page and turn a 40-page scan into 40 single-page documents, ready to file, send or upload one by one.
Everything runs in your browser. The original file is opened read-only and is never modified; each split is a fresh PDF written from the pages you selected, so you can split the same document five different ways in a row without touching the source. Pages are copied, not re-rendered — text remains selectable, links keep working, and nothing loses resolution.
If you only need to pull pages out and discard nothing, Extract Pages does the same job with the emphasis on keeping; if you need the document minus a few pages, Delete Pages is the mirror image of this tool. And if a split still leaves you with several files that belong together, Merge PDF puts them back into one.
Frequently asked questions
How do I write page ranges?
Use commas and dashes: 1-3, 5, 8-10 means pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10. Pages are numbered from 1, and duplicates are removed automatically.
Will splitting change my original file?
Never. The original is only read. Every split is a brand-new PDF, and you can split the same file repeatedly.
Does split reduce quality?
No — pages are copied exactly, so text, images and links arrive in the new file unchanged.
What if I enter a page number beyond the end?
The tool tells you how many pages the document has and refuses out-of-range numbers, so you can correct the range instead of getting a broken file.
Can I split a scanned PDF?
Yes. Scanned pages are images inside a PDF, and they split the same way — each page lands in the new file exactly as scanned.
