How to split a PDF

1
Drop a PDF onto the box above, or pick one from your disk. Nothing uploads.
2
Choose how to split it: every page on its own, specific pages or ranges, equal chunks, or a size limit per file.
3
Press Split. Your device builds the new files from the original.
4
Download the files individually or all at once as a zip. Close the tab and every trace is gone.

Questions

Is splitting a PDF here really private?
Yes. The split runs in your browser using WebAssembly — the file is read from disk into this tab and never sent over the network.
How do I write a custom range?
Comma-separate pages and ranges, like “1-5, 8, 10-14” — that pulls pages 1 through 5, page 8 on its own, and pages 10 through 14. Each range becomes its own file unless you check “Combine the selected ranges into one file” under Advanced, which stitches them into a single document in the order you listed them.
How does the file-size split decide where to cut?
It adds pages to a file one at a time, checks the real size after each one, and starts a new file the moment adding another page would go over your limit. If a single page is already bigger than the limit on its own, it's kept whole rather than broken — this splits by page, not by cutting a page in half.
Does splitting affect quality?
No. Pages are copied through exactly as they are — same text, same images, same resolution. Nothing is re-rendered or recompressed.
Is there a limit on how many pages I can split?
Up to 30 files per batch, 100 MB each. A single very long document is limited by your device's memory rather than a fixed page count.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no email, and no usage cap. Nothing about your files is logged.

About splitting PDFs

A PDF's pages aren't independent files stitched together — they're entries in one shared table that a reader walks through in order. Splitting means building a brand-new, minimal document around whichever pages belong in each result, so every output file opens on its own with nothing missing and nothing extra.
That's true whether the split is one page at a time, a range you typed, an equal chunk size, or a byte budget — the mechanism is the same copy operation each time, just with different rules for where to draw the line. Because it's a structural copy rather than a re-render, every result looks and behaves exactly like the corresponding pages in the source file. Everything runs in your browser. Your file is never uploaded, never queued on a server, and never deleted from one — because it was never there.
