How to Split a PDF Into Separate Pages (Free)

3 min readUpdated July 22, 2026

Sometimes you only need one contract out of a bundle, or you want each page of a scan as its own file. Here's how to split a PDF into separate pages for free, without uploading it.

Split vs. extract

Splitting turns every page of the PDF into its own single-page file. Extracting pulls out only the specific pages you choose into one new PDF. Pick whichever matches your goal — both keep the original untouched.

Split a PDF in 3 steps

  1. 1Open the Split PDF tool and add your PDF — every page appears as a thumbnail, rendered on your device.
  2. 2Select the pages you want to extract, or choose to split into one file per page.
  3. 3Download the result — a single extracted PDF, or a ZIP of the individual pages.

On-device and free

Your PDF is read and rebuilt entirely in your browser, so confidential documents never leave your device. It's free, with no account and no watermark.
