Sometimes you only need certain pages from a PDF - one invoice from a bulk scan, or one form from a thick document. Drop the PDF and you immediately see a grid with one thumbnail per page. Clicking the gap between two pages sets a cut there; every cut splits the document at that point.
Multiple cuts are allowed: N cuts produce N+1 files, each holding the pages between two cuts (or the start/end). One cut after page 3 in a 10-page document yields two files - pages 1-3 and pages 4-10. Multiple outputs come back bundled as a ZIP.
Splitting runs locally in the browser with pdf-lib, with no upload. A classic case: a bulk scan with several invoices back to back - a cut after each invoice separates them cleanly into individual files, without counting page numbers.
The approach deliberately differs from the usual page-range typing: instead of writing "pages 1-3, 4-10" into a form field and hoping for the best, you see every page as a thumbnail and click the cuts right between the pages - mistakes like being one page off show up immediately, not only after the download. The usual rules apply here too: free, no account, no watermark, no page limit - and the PDF stays on your device while splitting.
Limitations: A cut splits the current page sequence in the grid; reordering is not offered in this mode. With no cut set, the PDF stays as one file. Password-protected PDFs may fail.
FAQ
Is the PDF uploaded?
No, the grid and the splitting happen entirely locally in the browser.
How do I set a cut?
Click the gap between two page tiles in the grid; clicking again removes the cut.
How many files result?
N cuts produce N+1 files - one per section between two cuts (or the start/end).
In what format are the pages?
As PDF files; multiple outputs bundled in a ZIP.
Can I get pages as images?
Yes, use the "PDF to JPG" tool.
Combine again?
Use the "Merge PDF" tool.
Does splitting change the pages?
No. The pages are carried into the new files unchanged, nothing is re-rendered - text stays searchable, fonts and resolution stay exactly as they were. Your original PDF on your device is left untouched anyway.
Is splitting PDFs free, and is there a limit?
Yes, completely free, no account and no limit on the number of cuts or output files.
How is this different from Smallpdf or iLovePDF?
With Smallpdf and iLovePDF your PDF leaves the device and is split on a remote server. Here rendering and splitting happen right in the browser with pdf-lib - your file is never uploaded.
Does splitting work on a smartphone or tablet too?
Yes, in the mobile browser just like on a computer: tap the thumbnails instead of clicking. No app needed.
