Split PDF Without Uploading
Pull a long PDF apart into single pages (or a ZIP of pages) in this browser tab. This is the opposite of Merge: you are not stitching files, you are taking a packet apart so you can send page 3 of a contract without the rest. Nothing is uploaded to split it.
How it works
- 1Add your PDF
- 2Click Split
- 3Download a ZIP of pages
When splitting is the right move
A scanner dumped a whole folder into one PDF and you only need the signed last page.
A form portal wants one attachment per page. Split, then upload the pages you actually need.
Privacy
Splitting copies page objects in the browser. We do not receive the PDF to take it apart.

FAQ
Does split work on password-protected PDFs?+
Unlock the PDF first using our Unlock PDF tool if you own the file and know the password.
Is my PDF uploaded to split it?+
No. Pages are copied locally with the PDF library in your browser.
Do I get one file per page?+
Yes. Download is typically a ZIP so a 40-page file does not dump 40 separate save dialogs.
How is Split different from Page Mixer?+
Split explodes one document into pages. Page Mixer lets you drag individual pages between several PDFs.
Is Split PDF free?+
Yes. No account for the core splitter.
