What is Split PDF Pages?

Split a PDF into smaller files by page range, at every Nth page, at bookmarks, or one PDF per page. The original page content is preserved exactly — no rasterising, no quality loss. Useful when only a few pages of a big PDF are needed, or for breaking a long document into emailable chunks.

Why use this tool?

  • Touch-friendly UI, fine on phones for on-the-go edits
  • No registration, account, or installation required
  • No API keys to manage and no rate limits to monitor
  • No file upload — confidential reports never leave your computer
  • Built on SheetJS / pdf.js / OOXML — the same libraries used by serious desktop tools

How to use

  1. Upload your PDF file
  2. Select pages or enter page ranges
  3. Click "Split PDF" button
  4. Download the split files

Examples

Extract one chapter

Pages 33-58 of an 84-page report download as a 26-page PDF — the rest is discarded.

One file per page

A multi-page invoice batch splits into 50 single-page invoice PDFs ready for individual customer dispatch.

Split at bookmarks

A PDF with chapter bookmarks splits into one file per chapter automatically — the bookmark name becomes the filename.

Common use cases

  • Extracting specific pages from a large PDF
  • Distributing invoices/payslips individually
  • Breaking long PDFs into emailable chunks
  • Splitting reports by chapter for parallel review
  • Isolating sensitive pages before sharing the rest

Troubleshooting

Page numbers in the output don't match the source
Page numbering shown is positional (1, 2, 3…), not the PDF's "displayed" page numbers (which may include roman-numeral front matter). Count from page 1 of the file, not the printed cover.
Bookmark split produced one huge file and several tiny ones
Only top-level bookmarks split by default. Enable "split at heading level 2" if your PDF's structure is deeper.
Form fields don't work after splitting
Form data references are kept, but if a form spans pages and you split mid-form, fields on the other side are gone. Keep all form pages together with custom ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions

By page range (e.g. "1-5, 8, 12-20" creates 3 output files), by every N pages (auto-split into N-page chunks), or extract specific single pages.
