About the Split PDF tool
Splitting a PDF matters whenever you have a long document but only need a specific part of it: one chapter of a book, certain pages of a report, or a single invoice from a yearly statement. This tool splits your file two ways: one standalone file per page, or groups of a page count you choose — and when there are multiple parts, they arrive as one organized ZIP file.
Unlike splitting services that upload your document to their servers, this tool runs entirely in your browser: the file you pick is read and split right on your device without ever leaving it. Every page is copied as-is, byte-for-byte with no re-compression, so the resulting parts keep the original's exact quality at any size.
If your file is a book or report with bookmarks, try the Split-by-bookmarks tool to separate each chapter automatically under its own name. And if you only want specific pages without splitting everything, the Extract Pages tool is faster for that job.
When do you need this tool?
Sharing a part, not the whole
Send only the requested chapter of a long deck or study instead of a huge full file containing sections irrelevant to the recipient.
Beating attachment size limits
Split an oversized file into smaller parts you can send through email or messaging apps that reject large attachments.
Separating batch-scanned documents
Scanned several documents into one file? Split it into separate pages, then reassemble each document individually with the merge tool.
Distributing worksheets
Split a workbook of forms or training sheets into small files, with each page group going to a different employee or student.

Frequently asked questions
Do I get one file or several files?+
If only one file results it downloads directly; if there are several, they're automatically bundled into a single ZIP archive.
Does splitting affect page quality?+
No, every page is copied as-is with no re-compression or quality loss.
Can I split a large PDF file?+
Yes, there is no artificial file-size limit, though very large files depend on your device's available memory.
Is my file uploaded to any server?+
No, splitting happens entirely in your browser and your file never leaves your device.
