About Split PDF
Break one PDF into smaller files exactly the way you need. Explode a document into one file per page, pull out specific page ranges such as 1-3 and 8-10, cut it into chunks of every N pages, or split it into parts that stay under an email attachment size limit. The whole job runs inside your browser, so the document is never uploaded and never leaves your computer or phone.
How to use Split PDF
- 1
Drop your PDF onto the box above or click to choose it.
- 2
Pick a split mode: one file per page, page ranges, every N pages, or by maximum file size.
- 3
For ranges, type them separated by commas, for example 1-3, 5, 8-10. Each range becomes its own file.
- 4
Click Split and download the resulting files individually or together as a ZIP archive.
Why use this tool
- Four split modes cover almost every job: single pages, custom ranges, fixed-size chunks and size limits for email.
- Pages are copied, not re-rendered, so text stays searchable and images keep their full quality.
- Download every part at once as a ZIP instead of clicking through dozens of files.
- Your PDF is processed locally, which makes it safe for contracts, payslips and medical records.
Frequently asked questions
Choose the page ranges mode and type the pages you want, such as 2-4 or 7. Each range is saved as a separate PDF containing only those pages.
Yes. The size mode keeps adding pages to each part until it reaches the limit you set in megabytes, then starts a new file.
No. The original pages are copied into the new files unchanged, so nothing is compressed or rasterised.
No. Splitting happens with JavaScript in your browser tab. The file never travels to CodeMites or any other server.
Unlock it first with Unlock PDF using the password you know, then split the unlocked copy.
