When to split a PDF
Splitting is handy when a scanner put several documents into one file, when you only need to send one chapter of a report, or when an upload form has a size limit. Each range you type becomes its own PDF.
How page ranges work
Separate ranges with commas. “1-3, 4-6, 7” creates three files: pages 1 to 3, pages 4 to 6 and page 7. Use “Every page” to get one file per page.

Split PDF FAQ

How do I split only certain pages?+
Choose “Custom ranges” and type the pages, for example 1-2, 5, 8-10. Each range becomes a separate PDF.
Why do I get a ZIP file?+
When the split creates more than one PDF, they're bundled into a ZIP so you can download them all at once. Double-click it to open.
Does splitting change the original file?+
No. Your original PDF is never changed; you get new files.
Is this tool really free?+
Yes. No sign-up, no watermark, no daily limits. It's free because it runs on your own device.
Are my files uploaded to a server?+
No. Your files are processed entirely inside your browser and never leave your device. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads.
Is it safe for confidential documents?+
Yes. Because nothing is uploaded, contracts, bank statements, IDs and medical records stay on your device. There's no server copy that could be stored, shared or leaked.
Do I need to create an account or install anything?+
No. Open the page and use the tool — no account, no email, no extension and no download.
How large can my files be?+
There's no fixed limit. Because the work happens on your device, the practical limit is your browser's memory — files of a few hundred MB usually work fine on a laptop. Very large files are faster in the Mac app.
Which browsers are supported?+
Any modern browser: Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, Brave and Opera, on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android.
Will my file have a watermark?+
No. Your result is exactly what you made — no watermark, no added pages and no branding.
Is there a desktop app?+
Yes — ilovepdfmac for Mac does all of this and much more (Word, Excel and PowerPoint to PDF, a full PDF editor, real compression) offline, for a one-time $9.99.
