TL;DR: Upload a PDF, type the page range you want (e.g. 1-3, 5, 7-end), and download the extracted pages as a new PDF.
Split PDF online for free — divide a PDF into separate files by page range. Extract specific pages or split every page into individual PDFs. No installation, no registration required. Privacy-first: files are never stored on our servers.
Using Split PDF doesn't require an account, an email address, or a paid plan. Your file is held in temp memory only for the duration of processing, then permanently unlinked. No watermarks, no upsells, no behavioural tracking.
Yes — pick the 'Extract every page' option to get every page as a separate PDF file, all packaged into a ZIP download. There is no cap on the number of pages.
Yes. Switch to 'Custom ranges' and enter exact page numbers or ranges: e.g. `1, 5, 12` or `1-3, 12-15`. Each range becomes a separate PDF in the output ZIP.
Bookmarks inside the extracted page range are preserved with adjusted page numbers. Bookmarks pointing outside the range are dropped. Internal hyperlinks to pages outside the range are removed; external hyperlinks are kept intact.
No. The split is non-destructive — the original is read, the output is written to a fresh file, and the input file is deleted from the server within minutes of the response. Your original on your device is untouched.
It is uploaded to PrivaTools' own isolated container for processing, held in temp memory only, then unlinked immediately. It is never persisted to disk, never inspected, never shared with any third party. The split logic is open source on GitHub for verification.
Split lets you pick page ranges manually. Split by Size keeps each chunk under a target file size (e.g. 10 MB for email). Split by Bookmarks auto-splits at every chapter using the PDF's existing outline tree.
