Drop PDF here

Private. Files never leave your device.

Open a different file?

This closes the current PDF. It stays in your recent files with everything you've done, so you can come back to it from the home page.

Clear all files?

This empties the list and the order you put it in. Nothing is removed from your device.

Turn on airplane mode and give it a try. It still works.

How it works

How to split PDF files online for free

Extract pages or split a PDF file into separate documents, right in your browser. No upload, no server. Your files never leave your device.

  1. Upload your PDF. Select the PDF file you want to split or drag-and-drop it into the tool.
  2. Choose split mode. Extract your pages into a single combined PDF, or split each page into a separate PDF.
  3. Select pages. Click the page thumbnails or type page numbers and ranges (e.g., 1-3, 5, 8-).
  4. Split and download. Click Split PDF and download the files.

Free for everyone

Extract pages or split a PDF into separate files as often as you like, with no watermark or page caps. Because it runs on your device, there's nothing to upload and no usage to ration. Want to remove a few pages and keep the rest of the original document? Use Edit PDF Pages instead: Split pulls the pages you pick out into a new file, Edit Pages deletes them and keeps everything else.

It's open source under the MIT license, so anyone can read the code, fork it on GitHub, or share it. Simple PDF tools should be free for everyone.

Got questions?

Frequently asked questions

Is the PDF split tool completely free to use?

Yes. Like all tools on PDkef, the Split PDF tool is completely free with no limits, no signup required, and no watermarks added.

Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?

No. Nothing is uploaded. The tool runs on your device, in your browser, and your files never leave it. There is no processing server. For offline use, install PDkef and let its required assets load while connected.

How do page ranges work?

You can enter specific pages separated by commas (e.g., 1, 3, 5), closed ranges (e.g., 2-4), or open-ended ranges like "5-" (from page 5 to the end of the document).

What is the difference between "One PDF" and "One PDF per page"?

One PDF keeps the pages you picked together, in order, as a single new file. One PDF per page saves each picked page as its own file, one download per page. The preview shows which you have: one frame around the pages, or a frame around each page. Switch between them any time before you download.

Is there a limit on file size or number of pages?

There is no artificial limit. The tool can handle any file size and page count, constrained only by your device's system memory.

Can I pull a single chapter or receipt out of a large PDF?

Yes. Type the page range for just the chapter, invoice, or receipt you need, and Split extracts exactly those pages into their own file.

Is this a PDF page extractor?

Yes. Splitting and extracting are the same operation here: pick the pages you want and choose Separate mode to pull each one out as its own file, or Combined mode to extract a range into a single new PDF. If you want to remove a few pages and keep the rest of the document instead, use Edit PDF Pages.
