About Split PDF Online
This PDF page splitter divides a PDF into smaller documents.
Use Split PDF online to extract a page range, separate chapters, or split every page into its own file when portals or email limits require it.
Upload the PDF, enter an optional range like 1-3,5,7-9, or leave blank to split every page.
Multiple pages download as a ZIP with one PDF per page — a classic PDF splitter workflow.

Privacy
Split PDF processes files on FileToolsHub servers for this conversion job. You upload a file, the worker runs the action, then you download the result.
Temporary files are stored only long enough to complete processing and are removed afterward. Do not upload content you are not allowed to process.
For highly sensitive material, prefer offline software or client-side tools on FileToolsHub when a browser-only option exists for your workflow.
Limitations
- Split PDF has practical file-size and timeout limits. Complex or corrupted files may fail — try a simpler PDF or a smaller upload.
- Split PDF does one focused job. For multi-step workflows, use the related tools below or the PDF Tools hub.
