Split PDF online (without uploading)
ToolsOfWeb’s PDF Split tool helps you separate a PDF into individual page files or extract a page range into a new PDF. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your PDF isn’t uploaded to a server for processing. This is useful when you need to send only specific pages (for example, page 3 of an invoice, the signature page of a contract, or one chapter from a larger PDF) or when you want to split a scan into separate documents.
There are two common workflows: (1) Download separate pages (each page becomes its own PDF), and (2) Extract a page range into a single PDF. For best performance, avoid extremely large PDFs on low-end devices. If the PDF is encrypted or password-protected, unlock it first and try again.
How to split a PDF
- Upload a PDF file.
- Choose “Download separate pages” or “Extract a page range”.
- Set Start/End pages (you can split in batches).
- Click Download and save the output file(s).
Best practices
If you’re splitting many pages, use smaller ranges to avoid browser download limits. Keep file names organized (for example, “report-page-1.pdf”, “report-page-2.pdf”). After download, open one or two files to confirm they look correct. If you need to combine pages again later, use our PDF Merge tool.
FAQs
Are my PDFs uploaded to a server?+
No. Splitting runs locally in your browser and files are not uploaded for processing.
Can I split password-protected PDFs?+
If a PDF requires a password, it may fail to load. Remove the password first, then try again.
Why do I see multiple downloads?+
When you choose “Download separate pages”, the browser downloads one PDF per page. For large PDFs, split in smaller batches.
