Split or unmerge a PDF in 3 steps
- 1
Add your PDF
Drop a PDF into the upload area or tap "Browse files" to choose from your device.

Download the result
Tap "Split PDF." The extracted pages become a new PDF, built locally and saved to your downloads.
Why split PDFs here?
Private
Upload the whole document, extract a fragment — all locally. Nothing leaves your browser.
Instant
No upload, no queue. Page extraction happens in milliseconds at browser speed.
Order-sensitive
Type 5, 1, 3 to get those pages in that order. Most PDF splitters can't do this.
Extract PDF pages without uploading
The most common reason to split a PDF is to share something specific — page 5 of a contract, the appendix of a report, the form section of a longer document — without sending the whole file. Doing that on a third-party server defeats the purpose: you've still uploaded the entire document.
This private PDF splitter reads your document into browser memory, extracts the pages you request using pdf-lib, and saves a new PDF to your downloads. The original is never modified. No upload step exists.
The range syntax is flexible: comma-separated pages and ranges, in any order. Reverse ranges work too — type 10-1 to reverse a 10-page document.
Combine the result with other PDFs using our PDF merger, or convert pages to images with PDF to JPG.
How to unmerge a PDF
If you previously combined several documents into one PDF and now need them back apart, this tool "unmerges" it by extracting each original section as its own file. Type the page range for the first document (for example 1-5), download it, then run the tool again with the range for the next section (for example 6-9) — repeat until every original document has been pulled back out.
This works the same whether you're unmerging a PDF you built yourself with our PDF merger, or one you received from someone else.
Looking to split a scanned book instead — where each page is a wide two-page spread? Use Split PDF in Half, which auto-detects the gutter and cuts every spread into single pages.
Frequently asked questions
- Yes. Your PDF is processed entirely in your browser. It is never uploaded, and we have no way to see or store it.
- Yes. The range is order-sensitive. Type 5, 1, 3 to get page 5 first, then page 1, then page 3 in the output PDF.
- Comma-separated pages and ranges. Examples: 1-3 (pages 1, 2, 3), 5 (just page 5), 1-3, 5, 7-9 (pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9). Reverse ranges like 10-1 also work.
- Yes. Fully responsive. Pick a PDF, type the range, tap Split.
- No. There is no upload. The new PDF is built on your device and saved directly to your downloads folder.
- Unmerging a PDF means reversing a merge — breaking one combined PDF back into its separate original files or individual pages. This tool does that by letting you extract exactly the page ranges you want into a new PDF.
- Upload the merged PDF, type the page range for the section you want to pull out (for example 1-5 for the first document), and download. Repeat with a different range to pull out each original document. Everything runs in your browser — no upload, no signup.
