Is my PDF sent to a server?
No. Reading, previewing, splitting, encrypting and creating the ZIP file all take place in your browser.

About PDF splitting
Overview
Use this tool when you need to separate one PDF into smaller PDF files. You can make one PDF per page or place split points after specific pages while checking previews.
How to use
- Choose a PDF or drag and drop it into the area above.
- Choose whether to split every page or set split positions yourself.
- For custom splitting, select “Split after this page” on the page cards where each new PDF should end.
- Check the output list, then save files individually or save all of them together as a ZIP.
Supported files and notes
- This tool accepts one PDF at a time. Password-protected PDFs can be opened by entering the password.
- The original page content is copied without converting pages to images, so the visual quality is not intentionally reduced.
- Password protection for every output PDF can be selected in Save settings.
- Large PDFs and password-protected output can require more processing time and browser memory.
- All processing takes place locally in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Yes. Enter the opening password when prompted. In Save settings, you can save without a password, reuse the opening password or set a new password.
Does splitting reduce PDF quality?
Pages are copied into new PDF files without being rasterized, so the tool does not intentionally lower image or text quality.
Are bookmarks, attachments and forms preserved?
Page content and many page annotations are copied, but document-level items such as bookmarks and attachments, and some interactive form behavior, may not be preserved in the split files.
Can I split a PDF with many pages?
Yes, but creating many PDF files—especially with password protection—can take longer and use more browser memory. You can also save each output separately.
