How it works
Break a PDF into smaller files: every page as its own PDF, split at specific page numbers, fixed-size chunks, or custom ranges.
Pick the split mode that fits the job. "Every page" produces one PDF per page (bundled as a ZIP). "Split at" takes a list of page numbers, e.g. 10, 20, 30, and gives you four PDFs cut after each. "Fixed chunks" splits in groups of N pages, useful for breaking a 500-page report into 10-page sections. "Custom ranges" takes ranges like 1-3, 5-7, 8-12 and produces one PDF per range. Output is always a ZIP file containing the parts, named with the original filename plus the page range. Pages keep their original content, fonts, and resolution, nothing is re-rendered. Built on pdf-lib in your browser. Doesn't extract bookmarks or split by chapter, you give it page numbers, it gives you files.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I split a PDF into separate pages?
- Pick "Every page · 1 page per file" as the mode. You'll get a ZIP with one PDF per page, named with the original filename and page number.
- Can I split a PDF by chapter or bookmark?
- Not directly. You'd need the page numbers where chapters start, then use the "Split at" mode with those numbers.
- Is splitting a PDF online safe?
- It's safe when no upload is involved. This tool splits locally via pdf-lib, the file never leaves your device.
- What does the output look like?
- A ZIP archive. Filenames follow the pattern yourfile-p01.pdf, yourfile-p02-05.pdf, etc., zero-padded so they sort correctly.
