Accepts PDF. No size limit, no sign-up.

    Break a PDF into separate single-page files. Every page becomes its own PDF, numbered in order, and none of it leaves your device.

    Why split rather than extract

    The most common reason is that you need to send one page rather than a forty-page document — a single invoice from a statement run, one signed page from a contract, one certificate from a bundle.

    It is also how you reorganise a badly assembled document: split it, discard what you do not need, and merge the rest back in the right order. That round trip is lossless, because splitting and merging are both structural operations.

    The pages stay real pages

    Each output file is a genuine PDF containing the original page, not a picture of it. Text remains selectable and searchable, fonts are carried across, and vector graphics stay sharp at any zoom.

    Page dimensions are preserved individually, so a landscape page inside a portrait document comes out landscape.

    File size will not divide evenly

    Splitting a ten-megabyte document into ten pages does not give ten one-megabyte files. Resources such as embedded fonts and images are copied into whichever output files reference them, so a page carrying a large photograph will be large and a page of plain text will be small.

    The total across all the pieces is usually somewhat larger than the original, because shared resources may be duplicated across several outputs.

    Downloading many files at once

    A long document produces a lot of files, and clicking through them individually is impractical. Everything is offered as a single ZIP alongside the individual links.

    The ZIP is assembled in your browser with no compression, because PDF content is already compressed — recompressing it would burn your CPU for almost no saving.

    Local, unlimited, private

    Splitting is done by pdf-lib inside your browser tab. The document is never uploaded, which matters given what people usually split: statements, contracts, medical records and identity documents.

    No page limit, no file size cap, no watermark and no account. Verify it in the DevTools Network tab while you split something.

    Frequently asked questions

    Will each page still be a real PDF?

    Yes. Every output is a genuine single-page PDF with selectable text and sharp vector graphics, not an image of the page.

    Why do the split files add up to more than the original?

    Embedded fonts and images are copied into every output that references them, so shared resources can be duplicated across several files.

    How do I download all the pages at once?

    A single ZIP of every page is offered alongside the individual download links, packaged in your browser.

    Can I split a password-protected PDF?

    Documents that require a password to open must have that protection removed first. Documents with only usage restrictions are handled.

    Is my document uploaded?

    No. Splitting happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted at any point.
