Free Online PDF Splitter: Split PDF Pages
Split a large PDF into smaller files, or pull out just the pages you need. You can split by single pages, by page ranges, every few pages, by file size or even by words on the page. It all runs privately in your browser.
How to use Split PDF
- Open Split PDF and drop your PDF onto the page, or tap "Select PDF File".
- Choose how to split: by pages, by page range, or by text that appears on the pages.
- Pick the pages: every page as its own file, only the pages you tick, custom ranges such as 1-3, 4-8, or fixed ranges such as every 2 pages.
- Optionally limit the size of each file, check the list of files you will get, then press Split and download them (several files come as one ZIP).
Features
Extract every page, select pages by ticking them, type custom ranges or split into equal parts of a fixed number of pages.
Type a word, date or invoice number. Collect every page that contains it into one PDF, or start a new file each time it appears.
Set a maximum size per file so each part can be attached to an email or uploaded to a portal with size rules.
Large thumbnails and a page viewer show exactly what each new file will contain before you save it.
Your PDF is split on your own device. It is never uploaded, so confidential pages stay with you.
When the split gives several files, they are packed into a single ZIP so you can save them all in one go.
When to use it
Splitting is useful whenever a PDF holds more than you want to share. Send only the relevant pages of a long contract, break a scanned bundle of documents back into separate files, cut a large report into parts that fit an email size limit, or save each page of a statement as its own file for your records.
Frequently asked questions
How do I extract just one page from a PDF?
Choose "Select Pages", tick the page you want and press Split. You get a new PDF that contains only that page, and the original file is not changed.
Can I split a PDF into equal parts?
Yes. Use "Fixed Ranges" and set the number of pages per file. For example, a 10-page PDF split every 2 pages gives 5 files.
What does split by text do?
It searches the words on each page. You can either gather all pages that contain your text into one PDF, or begin a new PDF each time the text appears, which is handy for splitting combined invoices or statements.
Is my document uploaded when I split it?
No. PDFMasala reads and splits the file inside your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, and the page can even keep working if you go offline after it has loaded.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied without being re-compressed, so text and images look exactly as they did in the original PDF.
Why do I get a ZIP file?
When a split produces more than one PDF, the files are bundled into one ZIP so your browser downloads them at once. Open the ZIP to get the individual PDFs.
