What is the PDF Splitter?

The free PDF Splitter breaks a PDF into separate files in your browser with no upload required. Drop your PDF and choose a Split mode: All pages separately saves every page as its own numbered PDF file, or Custom ranges lets you define exactly which pages go into each output file using a semicolon-separated range list (e.g. 1-3; 4-6; 7). Click Split & Download and each segment downloads as a separate PDF file.
