Online PDF Splitter
Break one PDF into smaller pieces however you need: pull out specific pages, define ranges like 1-3, 5, 8-10, split every page, or split at fixed intervals. Ranges are checked as you type, and the output comes back as a single PDF or a ZIP of several.

Frequently asked questions
How do I enter page ranges?
Use comma-separated numbers and ranges, for example 1-3, 5, 8-10. The tool validates them before splitting.
Do you show a visual preview of pages?
No. To stay lightweight and private we work by page number rather than rendering each page.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
No — remove the password or encryption first, then split the unlocked PDF.
