Split a PDF into separate files

Add a PDF, choose how to cut it (by page ranges, every N pages, or one file per page) and download the parts as a ZIP. Nothing is uploaded and there is no limit.

  • Free, no sign-up
  • Runs in your browser
  • Nothing uploaded or kept

How to use it

  1. Add your PDF

    Drop it in the box. Delete or reorder pages first if you want to.

  2. Choose how to split

    Type ranges like 1-3, 4-6, 7-, or pick every N pages, or one PDF per page.

  3. Download

    One part downloads as a PDF; several come in a single ZIP.

The tool is loading. Add as many files as you like, of any size your device can hold.

Your files stay in this page. Nothing is uploaded, and nothing needs an account.

Three ways to split

By ranges, each comma-separated range becomes its own PDF (1-3, 4-6 makes two files). Every N pages cuts the document into equal parts, the last one shorter if it has to be. One PDF per page makes a file for every page.

What you see before you press the button

As you type, the tool shows exactly what it understood: how many PDFs it will make and which pages go in each, and it explains any mistake, such as a page that does not exist, in a sentence.

Pages are counted from 1 in the order shown

The numbers refer to the page list in the tool, so if you moved or deleted pages first, the ranges follow what you see.

No limits, and why that is possible

Most online PDF tools upload your file to a server, do the work there and send it back, so they pay for every job and have to ration it. This tool does the work inside your browser instead, so one more file costs nothing and there is nothing to ration. That also means your document never leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions

How do I split a PDF into pages 1-3 and 4-6?

Choose Split by ranges and type 1-3, 4-6. You get two PDFs, in one ZIP.

How do I get only one page out of a PDF?

Choose Pick pages, type the page number, such as 5, and download. It is saved as a one-page PDF.

Does splitting change the pages?

No. The pages are copied as they are, with their text, pictures and layout, apart from any rotation you chose.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. The tool runs in your browser: your files are read and written on your own device and nothing is sent to a server. You can check this yourself by opening your browser's network tab while you use it.

Is there a limit on file size, pages or number of files?

We set none: no cap on files, pages or megabytes, no daily limit and no sign-up. The only limit is your device's memory, and the tool warns you when the files you add come to more than about 400 MB.

What can this not do?

It works on pages: it reorders, turns, deletes, splits, merges and compresses them, and converts pictures and pages. It does not read the text in a scan (no OCR), edit the words inside a page, open password-protected PDFs, or convert to Word or Excel.

Does it add a watermark or anything else to my pages?

No watermark and nothing drawn on your pages. The only trace is the PDF's Producer field, which says the file was made by LetRelay free PDF tools.
