What this tool does
Select one PDF and split it in your browser by all pages, custom page ranges, or every N pages. Tool code processes selected files and entered content in your browser and does not submit them to a TOOLGRID processing endpoint.
This PDF workflow is designed for common document cleanup and handoff tasks where uploading files would add privacy risk or delay.
Processing runs in the current browser tab, so the practical limit is your device memory and browser support rather than a server quota.
Where this tool earns its place

What to check before relying on the result
- Performance and maximum practical input size depend on browser memory, device speed, and the structure of the input.
- Review the generated result before replacing or publishing an original file.
Open a nearby browser tool when you need to validate, convert, or reuse the result.

Tips & Tricks
- 01Use page ranges for precision
Enter page ranges like '1-3, 5, 8-12' to extract exactly the pages you need. Separate ranges with commas.
- 02Split first, then compress
If you only need a few pages from a large PDF, split out the relevant section first, then compress it — much faster than compressing the whole file.
- 03Check page numbers in the original
Page numbers printed on a document may differ from the actual PDF page numbers. Use a PDF viewer to confirm the correct page positions before splitting.
- 04Extract every page for individual files
To turn a 10-page PDF into 10 separate one-page PDFs, use 'Split every page' mode instead of specifying ranges manually.
FAQ
02How does PDF splitting process my file?
Splitting happens in your browser. Tool code processes selected files and entered content in your browser and does not submit them to a TOOLGRID processing endpoint.
Can I extract a range of pages instead of splitting the whole file?
Yes. Enter a page range like '3-7' to extract only those pages as a new PDF.
What happens to the original PDF after splitting?
Nothing. The original file is not modified. Splitting creates new files from a copy of the selected pages.
Can I split a PDF with owner restrictions?
If the file opens but has owner restrictions, use PDF Password to remove print, copy, or edit restriction flags before splitting. PDF Password does not remove an open password required to view encrypted PDFs.
Is there a page limit for splitting?
No. You can split PDFs of any page count. Performance depends on your device for very large documents.
Can I split a PDF every N pages?
Yes. Use the Every N pages mode and specify how many pages each generated file should contain.
Does splitting reduce the quality of extracted pages?
No. Pages are extracted without re-encoding. Images, fonts, and formatting are preserved exactly.
Can I select non-consecutive pages?
Yes. Enter page numbers separated by commas, for example: '1, 4, 7-9, 12'.
