Split PDF
Split a PDF into separate pages or ranges
What is Split PDF?
Split PDF is a free browser-based PDF tool from Farvixo that lets you split a PDF into separate pages or ranges. It runs entirely on your own device using WebAssembly, so the document is never uploaded to a server. There is no sign-up, no watermark on the output and no cap on how many documents you process.
How to use Split PDF
Drag your PDF into Split PDF or click to browse. The file stays on your device — nothing is uploaded to a server.
Reorder, select page ranges and pick the output settings you need. Split PDF shows a live preview so you can check the result before committing to it.
Download the new PDF straight away. No watermark, no page limit and no sign-up — run Split PDF as often as you need.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I split a PDF into separate pages?
Add your PDF, choose "every page" as the split mode, and download the result. Each page becomes its own file, delivered together as a ZIP so you are not clicking through dozens of downloads.
Can I split a PDF at a specific page?
Yes. Enter the page number or a range such as 1-5, 8, 12-20. You can produce several files in one pass, each covering the range you specify.
Does splitting reduce the quality of the pages?
No. Splitting copies the original page objects into new documents without re-encoding anything, so text stays sharp and images keep their original resolution. The output is byte-identical in content to the pages you started with.
Is there a limit on how many pages I can split?
No server limit, because nothing is uploaded. The practical ceiling is your device memory — documents of several hundred pages split without trouble on an ordinary laptop or phone.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
You will need to remove the password first — an encrypted PDF cannot be read until it is unlocked. Once unlocked, splitting works normally, and the password never travels anywhere because the whole process is local.
Will the split files keep bookmarks and links?
Internal links that point within a retained range are preserved. Links pointing to pages that ended up in a different output file cannot resolve and are dropped, since their target no longer exists in that document.
What you can use Split PDF for
- Preparing a document for an email attachment or an upload form with a size limit
- Students and office workers who need one PDF change without buying a desktop editor
- Handling contracts, invoices or ID documents that should not be uploaded to a third-party server
- Cleaning up a scanned document before archiving or sharing it
Split PDF at a glance
- Tool
- Split PDF — PDF Tools
- Purpose
- Split a PDF into separate pages or ranges
- Input
- A single file (PDF)
- Output
- PDF file (plus the chosen export format where the tool converts)
- Processing
- In your browser — files are never uploaded to a server
- Price
- Free, unlimited, no account required
- Limitations
- Bounded by your device's memory and CPU rather than a server quota; very large files may be slow on older hardware
Tips for better results
- Check the page count and orientation in the preview before you download — reordering afterwards means starting over.
- If a PDF refuses to open, it is usually password-protected; remove the password first, then re-run this tool.
- Very large PDFs are limited by your device memory, not by an upload cap. Splitting a 500-page file into parts is faster than processing it whole.
Common problems and how to fix them
The PDF will not load
The file is encrypted or was produced by a non-standard writer. Open it in a PDF reader, print it back to PDF, and try again.
Text comes out garbled or as boxes
The PDF has no embedded font or no text layer at all. A scanned page needs OCR first — use PDF OCR, then re-run this tool.
The browser tab becomes unresponsive
The document is larger than the available memory. Close other tabs, or split the PDF and process it in sections.
