Split PDF Into Separate Pages
Break a large PDF into smaller documents with our free PDF splitter. Every page is exported as its own single-page PDF, bundled into a convenient ZIP archive. Because the splitting runs locally in your browser, even sensitive contracts, invoices, or medical records can be processed without ever touching a server.

How it processes your file
The PDF is read locally and each original page is copied into its own one-page PDF before the results are zipped.
Verified behavior
- A document with N pages produces N separate PDF files.
- Output files are numbered page-1.pdf, page-2.pdf, and so on.
- The original order, page size, text, and vector content are preserved.
Important limits
- This tool always separates every page; use Extract Pages for selected ranges.
- Password-protected PDFs must first be unlocked with the correct password.
Reproducible example workflow

- Action
- Run Split PDF once and download the generated ZIP archive.
- Expected output

Frequently asked questions
How do I separate PDF file pages?
Upload the document and run Split PDF. Every page becomes a separate one-page PDF, and the complete set downloads in a ZIP archive in the original order.
What do I get after splitting?
You receive a ZIP file containing one single-page PDF per page of the original document, named in page order so they are easy to reassemble or share individually.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
You need to remove the password first using our Decrypt PDF tool. Once decrypted, the file can be split like any other document.
Is there a page limit for splitting?
There is no fixed page limit. Documents with hundreds of pages split without problems on modern devices, since everything runs on your own hardware.
