A PDF splitter is a tool that divides one PDF document into two or more smaller PDF files. FreeToolsKit's splitter runs the pdf-lib library inside your browser: you choose page ranges such as 1-3, 5, 8-10, or pull every page into its own file, then download the parts separately or all at once as a ZIP. Your file never leaves your device — nothing is uploaded to a server.
How do you split a PDF?
- Drop your PDF onto the panel or choose it with the button — it must have at least 2 pages.
- Pick “Page ranges” to split chosen pages, or “Every page” to make one PDF per page.
- For ranges, type pages like 1-3, 5, 8-10 — the panel tells you how many PDFs you'll get.
- Press “Split PDF” and wait for the progress bar to finish.
- Download each part separately, or take them all at once with “Download all as ZIP”.
What is the Split PDF used for?
- Sending only the signed pages of a contract instead of the whole file.
- Pulling the invoice pages out of a long scanned PDF for an accountant.
- Splitting a course reader into one file per chapter for sharing with students.
- Extracting the pages you need from a large report to email on a slow connection.
- Separating each page of a scanned document stack into individual files for filing.
Frequently asked questions
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
No. Splitting runs in your browser using the pdf-lib JavaScript library. Your document never leaves your device, is never stored and cannot be seen by anyone else.
Is this PDF splitter free?
Yes — free, with no sign-up and no watermark on the split files. You can split as many PDFs as you like.
How do I write the page ranges?
Type pages separated by commas, with ranges written with a dash: 1-3, 5, 8-10. Pages are numbered from 1, and each range becomes its own PDF file. A page can appear in more than one range — it is then included in both files.
Is there a limit on file size or page count?
One PDF at a time, up to 100 MB. There is no fixed page limit, but a very long PDF split into one file per page can take a while to process on a slow device — everything still runs locally in your browser.
What happens if one file is not a valid PDF?
It is flagged with an error when you add it and splitting never starts. Password-protected PDFs cannot be split because their pages cannot be read — remove the password in your PDF reader first.
