About This Tool

Pull exactly the pages you need out of any PDF - with three different split modes and a visual page grid that shows you everything before you cut.

Every PDF user knows this pain. A 40-page report where you only need chapters 3 and 7. A scanned book where each chapter should be its own file. A form where the pages you must fill in are buried in the middle. Most free tools let you split one way only - and charge for anything smarter.

Split PDF gives you all three ways, free forever. Extract selected pages: click the pages in the grid and pull them into one new PDF. Every N pages: chop a document into equal chunks - a 30-page PDF becomes ten neat 3-page PDFs, zipped together. Custom ranges: type 1-3, 5, 8-10 and get exactly that, with the tool checking your numbers live and explaining mistakes politely instead of breaking.

The page grid is the feature people fall in love with. Every page appears as a card showing its number, size and orientation. Click cards to select them - they light up with a glowing ring. You always know exactly what you are getting before you split.

And the privacy promise you already know from useminitools.com: your document is processed entirely inside your browser. No upload, no server, no account, no watermark, no page limits. A 500-page monster works the same as a 5-page note.

How to Use

1Drop a PDF into the glowing zone, or anywhere on the page. One file at a time - dropping a new one replaces the old.
2Browse the page grid. Each card shows the page number, its dimensions and whether it is portrait or landscape.
3Choose your split mode: Extract selected (click pages, then pull them into one PDF), Every N pages (set the chunk size, like 3 pages per file), or Custom ranges (type them like 1-3, 5, 8-10 and watch purple chips appear as you type).
4Click Split PDF. One result downloads directly; multiple results come as individually named files plus one ZIP containing everything.
5Preview the first result in a new tab, rename the outputs if you like, or hit Start over for a fresh document.

Frequently Asked Questions

Choose Extract selected, then click the page cards you want - they light up with a purple glow and a checkmark. Split pulls those pages, in their original order, into one new PDF. Select all and Clear selection buttons speed things up on big documents.

Yes - that is the Every N pages mode. Set it to 3 and a 30-page PDF becomes ten PDFs of 3 pages each. A live hint tells you exactly how many files you will get before you split.

Nothing breaks. The tool validates as you type: ranges beyond the last page get flagged, backwards ranges like 5-2 get explained, and gibberish gets caught with a friendly message. You always know what is wrong before splitting.

No limit. A 500-page document split every 10 pages creates 50 PDFs in one ZIP. Big jobs simply take a few seconds longer.

No. Everything runs inside your browser - the splitting and the ZIP packing too. Your document never leaves your device.

Yes - the Preview button opens the first result in a new tab so you can confirm the pages are right before saving anything.
