Split PDF – Free Online Tool
Free online PDF splitter with 4 split modes — custom page ranges, every N pages, equal parts, or extract each page. ZIP download, 100% client-side.
The Most Versatile Free PDF Splitter Online
Our PDF Splitter offers 4 powerful split modes in one tool: extract custom page ranges, split every N pages, divide into equal parts, or separate each page individually. Features an exclude mode to keep everything except specific pages, live split preview showing exactly what you'll get, and ZIP download for multi-file output — all running 100% in your browser.
Client-Side PDF Splitting Technology
We use pdf-lib to parse and split PDF pages entirely in your browser using JavaScript. When you upload a file, we immediately analyze it to show page count and file size. The split preview updates in real-time as you configure your settings. Multiple output files are bundled into a ZIP using JSZip — your sensitive documents never leave your device.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Split PDF.
Is this PDF splitter really free and unlimited?
Yes, completely free with no daily limits, no file size restrictions (up to 100MB), and no watermarks. Everything runs in your browser — there are no server costs to recoup.
What split modes are available?
Four modes: Custom Range (e.g., '1-3, 5, 7-10'), Every N Pages (split into chunks of N pages), Equal Parts (divide into N equal files), and Each Page (every page as an individual PDF). Custom Range also supports Exclude Mode to keep everything except specified pages.
Is my PDF data safe and private?
Absolutely. All PDF processing happens locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files are never uploaded to any server, making our tool ideal for sensitive documents like contracts, tax returns, and medical records.
Can I download all split files at once?
Yes! When splitting into multiple files, a 'Download All as ZIP' button bundles all output PDFs into a single ZIP file for convenient download. You can also download individual files separately.
What does Exclude Mode do?
Exclude Mode inverts your page selection. Instead of specifying which pages to keep, you specify which pages to remove. For example, entering '3, 5-7' in Exclude Mode will keep all pages except 3, 5, 6, and 7.
Is there a limit on the number of pages?
There's no hard page limit. The only constraint is your browser's memory. We recommend files up to 100MB and documents with up to several thousand pages for smooth performance.
