Split PDF

Split a PDF into separate files without uploading it anywhere. Break one document into single pages, or pull out ranges like pages 1-3 and 4-6 as their own PDFs. The split happens on your device, so contracts and statements stay private, and the original file is never touched.

    Split a PDF Into the Pieces You Actually Need

    Nobody sends a 60 page scan when only four pages matter. This tool breaks one PDF into smaller files: every page on its own, or ranges you choose, like the signed pages of a contract or one chapter of a manual. It runs in your browser, so the document never travels to a server. If the job is the other way round, keeping just a few pages in one file, Extract Pages does that, and Merge PDF joins separate files back together.

    How to Split PDF Files Online

    1. Drop your PDF into the box above, or click to choose it.
    2. Pick how to split: by page ranges, or every page as its own file.
    3. For ranges, type them the way you would say them, like 1-3, 4-6, 7.
    4. Click Split PDF and read the result line.
    5. Download your file. One range arrives as a single PDF. Several ranges, or one file per page, arrive packed in a ZIP.

    What Splitting Keeps, and What It Cannot Do

    Split pages keep their text, images and links exactly as they were, because pages move whole into the new files. Nothing is retyped or rebuilt as a picture, so a split contract page is still a real contract page. Bookmarks that point across ranges cannot survive a split, since the chapters they jump between now live in different files, and a table of contents link to a page that went elsewhere will land nowhere. Form fields travel with their page, though a calculation that reads values from another page loses its source. Splitting also does not shrink anything by much: the parts together weigh about the same as the original, minus shared overhead. If size is the real problem, run the parts through Compress PDF afterwards.

    Everyday Jobs That End With a Split PDF

    A bank asks for the last three statements out of a year-long PDF, so the file splits by range and only those months leave your computer. A teacher pulls one chapter from a 300 page textbook file for the class. A lawyer separates the signed signature pages from the unsigned bundle. A job applicant sends only the relevant certificates out of one big scanned folder-file. And anyone who hit an upload limit splits a heavy document into parts the form will accept, one at a time.

    Split PDF Tips That Save a Second Pass

    Ranges may overlap on purpose, and that is a feature worth using. Writing 1-3, 1, 4-6 puts the cover page at the front of the first part and also gives it as its own file, which is exactly what you want when every part must travel with the title page attached. Rename the parts as they land, while you still remember which is which: part-1 becomes “statements-jan-mar” faster now than after a week in a downloads folder. For a long file, check the page count the tool shows after loading against the count you expected. A scan that silently merged two documents is common, and splitting the wrong bundle just makes two wrong bundles. Last, when a portal wants one file per document and gives you several slots, split by document boundaries rather than equal chunks. The receiving side files parts by what they are, not by their size.

    FAQs

    Is it free to split PDFs here, with no page limit?

    Yes. Splitting is free, with no page count sold back to you later and no watermark on the results. ToolPeko earns from ads on the site, not from your documents.

    Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?

    No. The split runs inside your browser, on your own device. Your file never travels to us, so there is no copy of it anywhere else and nothing to delete afterwards.

    What is the difference between splitting by ranges and extracting pages?

    Splitting by ranges makes several files, one per range, or one file per page. Extracting makes a single new PDF holding only the pages you picked. Same pages, different shape of result.

    Can I split a password-protected PDF?

    No. The tool cannot open a locked file. Remove the password in the app that made it, or ask the sender for an unlocked copy, then split that.

    Will the split files be smaller than the original?

    Each part is smaller than the whole, naturally, but together they add up to roughly the original size. Splitting divides a document. It does not compress it.

    Can I split a PDF on my phone?

    Yes. The tool runs in a phone browser the same way it runs on a computer. Very large scans can strain a phone’s memory, so for a huge file a computer is the safer bet.
