PDF Page Splitter — Split PDF Free

Signing page 4 of a 60-page contract does not require sending the other 56 to anyone. PDF Page Splitter pulls the pages you name into a new file and leaves the rest behind, working on the copy sitting in your own tab rather than on an upload.

Three modes cover the ways a PDF usually needs breaking up. Page Range extracts one file from a list you write. Every N Pages chops the whole document into fixed chunks, which is how a stack of scanned two-page invoices gets turned back into separate invoices. Each Page explodes the file into one PDF per page.

Running Your First Split

1. Drop a PDF onto the dashed box. The tool reads the page count locally and shows it beside the filename, and the range field pre-fills with 1-3.
2. Type the pages you want. The orange summary panel updates on every keystroke with the exact file count and page total before anything downloads.
3. Press Split & Download. Output files are named from the original, so contract.pdf extracted at 1-3 saves as contract-pages-1-3.pdf.
4. The non-obvious one: page order is kept exactly as written, so entering 3, 1 puts page 3 first. Extracting and reordering are the same operation here.

What It Accepts in the Range Box

• Single pages, hyphenated spans, or any mix of the two separated by commas: 1-3, 7, 10-12 is one valid entry producing a single 7-page file.
• Repeats are allowed and deliberate. 1, 1, 5 writes page 1 into the output twice, which is occasionally what a cover sheet needs.
• Whitespace around numbers and commas is ignored, so 1 - 3 , 7 parses identically to the compact form.
• Anything else stops the split before it starts. A letter in the box raises "abc" isn't a page number. Use digits, commas and hyphens only.

What Happens When a Split Goes Wrong

• A backwards span is caught rather than silently swapped: 5-2 raises "5-2" runs backwards — write the smaller page first.
• PDFs count from 1 here, matching what a reader shows. Typing 0 raises Pages are numbered from 1, so there is no page 0.
• A single-page PDF is rejected on load with This PDF has only 1 page — there is nothing to split. rather than producing a pointless copy of itself.
• Password-protected files cannot be opened at all and say so on drop. Files stop at 100 MB, and the output is capped at 100 separate PDFs, since Each Page on a 400-page document would otherwise fire 400 downloads at once.
• Multi-file downloads are spaced 250 milliseconds apart because browsers quietly drop bursts fired back to back. If yours still saves only the first file, allow multiple downloads for this site and split again.
