Split PDF

Split PDF divides a PDF document into separate files — one PDF per page. This helps when you only need to email page 3 of a contract, upload individual pages to a portal with file-count limits, or organize a long scan into separate attachments.

Each output file is a valid standalone PDF containing exactly one page from the source. Multi-page results are delivered as a ZIP archive so you do not need to download dozens of files one by one.

Input: one PDF file (.pdf). Output: one single-page PDF per selected page, named with page numbers. When multiple pages are exported, files are bundled in a ZIP download.

Optional page range: enter e.g. 1,3,5-7 to split only those pages. Leave empty to split every page. Password-protected PDFs are not supported.

Step 1: Upload the PDF you want to split.

Step 2: Optionally enter a page range (e.g. 5-10 for pages 5 through 10 only). Leave blank to export all pages.

Step 3: Click Convert. Progress reflects page count — large documents take longer.

Step 4: Click Download ZIP when processing finishes.

Step 5: Extract the ZIP on your computer and verify the pages you need.

Enter page numbers as comma-separated values and ranges (1,3,5-7). Encrypted PDFs fail immediately.

A 500-page PDF produces up to 500 files — use a page range to limit output on mobile devices. Bookmarks and document-level metadata are not copied to split files.

Email limits: extract only the signature page from a long contract.

Portal uploads: split a scan so each page uploads separately to a government site.

Archive chapters: save each chapter of a manual as its own file.

Document Converter never uploads your file for conversion. Processing uses JavaScript in your browser tab — the same security boundary as editing a document offline. Closing the tab clears the in-memory copy unless you saved the output.

We may load analytics or ads when you visit the site, but those requests do not include your document bytes. For HR records, medical forms, or unreleased designs, local conversion avoids the third-party upload step that cloud converters require.

Cloud tools like Smallpdf and iLovePDF receive your file via HTTP upload, process it on their servers, and return a download link. That model is convenient for public PDFs but adds privacy and compliance risk for sensitive content.

Document Converter runs pdf-lib, PDF.js, Mammoth, SheetJS, or Tesseract.js directly in your browser. Open DevTools → Network while converting: you should see no POST containing your file. You trade server-side CPU for device-side privacy — often the right choice for personal and workplace documents.
