How to Split PDF Files Online

  1. Choose your PDF.

    Drag a PDF into the box above or use Select PDF. Check the page previews, or try the sample before choosing your own file.

  2. Choose how to split it.

    Use Extract pages for one PDF, Split by ranges for several files, or Every page for one file per page. Check the result summary before continuing.

  3. Split and download.

    Choose Split PDF, then download your new PDF or a ZIP containing the separate files. Your original stays exactly as it was.

One document, separate files

Split PDF Into Multiple Files

Choose Split by ranges to make a separate PDF for each comma-separated entry. A range such as 1-3 keeps those three pages together; a single number creates a one-page PDF.

Use this to separate chapters, divide a report into two parts, or share only certain sections. The output summary shows the files you’ll get before you split.

Use page numbers from your own document. Ranges must not overlap.

Keep a little. Or separate it all.

Extract Individual PDF Pages

Take a few useful pages out of a longer document, or turn the whole PDF into individual files. Choose the mode that matches what you want to download.

Keep selected pages in one PDF.

Choose Extract pages, then select thumbnails or enter page numbers. For example, 2, 5-6 produces one three-page PDF in the original document order.

Save each page as a separate PDF.

Choose Every page for one PDF per page, packaged in a ZIP. To save only certain pages as separate files, use Split by ranges with individual numbers, such as 2, 5, 6.

Why Use PDFlet to Split PDFs?

  • Your document stays with you.

    Your PDF is read, previewed, and split in your browser. Document contents and filenames aren’t sent to a server.

  • Free from file to download.

    All three split modes and PDF or ZIP downloads are free. There’s no account to create and no watermark added to your pages.

  • Pages stay as PDF pages.

    Pages are copied rather than turned into images. Page sizes and rotation are kept. See the FAQs for form and signature limitations.

A few useful answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Downloads, privacy, and the limits to know before you start.

Using the splitter

Is PDFlet’s PDF splitter free?

Yes. Extract pages, split by ranges, and download individual PDFs or a ZIP for free. No account, subscription, or watermark.

How do I download the split PDF files?

After splitting, use Download PDF for a single result or Download all as ZIP for a set of files. You can also download each PDF separately from the results list. Downloads only start when you choose them.

Do I have to include every page?

No. Use Extract pages to keep a selection in one PDF, or Split by ranges to make separate PDFs from the pages you choose. Pages you leave out are excluded from the new files. Your original document is unchanged.

Why is my page range rejected?

Use page numbers from your document, with commas between entries and a hyphen inside each range: 1-3, 5, 8-10. Ranges must run from the smaller number to the larger one. Repeated pages and overlapping ranges, such as 1-3, 3-5, are rejected so a page isn’t included twice by accident.

Can I split a PDF on Mac, iPhone, or another phone?

Use this browser tool without installing a separate PDF editor. Choose Select PDF, open a file available to your browser, select your split mode, and download the result. On an iPhone, you can choose a PDF from Files. JavaScript and a modern browser are required; large documents may reach a phone’s memory limit sooner.

Files & privacy

Can I split a PDF without uploading it?

Yes. Reading, previews, splitting, and ZIP creation happen in your browser. Your PDF contents and filenames aren’t uploaded, logged, or saved on a server. The page downloads its own application files and fonts; choosing the optional sample downloads a public example PDF.

Can I split a PDF offline?

Offline use is not guaranteed. You need an internet connection to load the page and the application files it needs. Processing your document locally does not mean the whole website is available offline.

What happens to quality, forms, and signatures?

Pages are copied without converting them to images. Their size and rotation are preserved. Existing form appearances are flattened into page content, so the outputs won’t have editable form fields. Document-level bookmarks, attachments, and digital signatures aren’t preserved. Keep your original if you need those features.

Can I split password-protected PDFs?

Encrypted and password-protected PDFs aren’t supported. Open the PDF in an editor you trust and save an unlocked copy first. Dynamic XFA forms also need to be exported as a regular, flattened PDF.

What are the file limits?

Choose one PDF of up to 50 MB and 2,000 pages. Total output is limited to 100 MB per run because splitting a resource-heavy PDF into many files can increase its size. Large documents may reach your device’s memory limit sooner. Previews are shown 12 pages at a time, and you can cancel reading or processing.
