Split PDF — extract pages and ranges, free and private

Break a PDF into separate files or pull out exactly the pages you need. Choose custom ranges or split every page, all processed in your browser with nothing uploaded.

How to split a PDF

  1. Upload your PDF using the box above.
  2. Choose a split mode — custom ranges (like 1-3, 8-12), every N pages, or one file per page.
  3. Click Split to process the document locally in your browser.
  4. Download your split files, individually or as a ZIP.

What it does

  • Split by custom ranges, every N pages, or per page

Common uses

  • Pulling one chapter out of a long PDF
  • Separating a scanned batch into individual documents
  • Sharing only the relevant pages of a contract

Is it private?

Yes. Splitting runs entirely in your browser, so the document you’re cutting up is never uploaded to our servers. Whether it’s a bank statement or a legal filing, the pages are never sent to our servers.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to split them?

No. Everything happens locally in your browser — your PDF is never sent to our servers.

How do I extract specific pages?

Use range mode and enter ranges like 1-3, 8, 11-14. PaperFit exports exactly those pages.

Can I get one file per page?

Yes. Choose the per-page mode and download every page as its own PDF, or all of them in a ZIP.

Is there a page or size limit?

You can split PDFs up to 200 MB. Very large files depend on your device’s memory since processing is local.

Does splitting keep the original quality?

Yes. Pages are copied without re-rendering, so quality and selectable text are preserved.

Do I need an account?

No account, no install, no watermark — it’s free and runs in your browser.
