Split PDF Files

Create one PDF for each page of a document. The individual files are collected into a ZIP download, including when the source has only one page.

How to use this tool

  1. Select one PDF from your device using the file picker or drop area.
  2. Check the selected file name and size before starting.
  3. Choose Split PDF. The tool creates one PDF for each source page.
  4. Save the downloaded split-pages.zip file and extract it to access the page PDFs.

Features

  • Creates a separate PDF for every page and names files page-1.pdf, page-2.pdf, and so on.
  • Packages all resulting page files into one ZIP download.
  • Keeps the original page order.

Common use cases

  • Sharing one page from a long report without sending the complete document.
  • Separating scanned pages for individual review.
  • Preparing page-level files for a workflow that accepts one page at a time.

Supported files and limitations

Supported inputs

  • One readable PDF file, including a one-page PDF.

Limitations

  • The tool splits at page boundaries; it cannot split content within a page.
  • Large documents may need substantial memory because each page PDF and the ZIP are generated in the browser.
  • Encrypted or malformed PDFs may fail to load. Modifying a signed PDF may invalidate its digital signature.

Troubleshooting

The ZIP file is missing or will not open.
Wait for processing to finish, confirm the browser allowed the download, and try extracting the ZIP with your device's archive utility.
The PDF cannot be processed.
Try a readable, unencrypted copy in a modern browser. If the document is large, close other tabs or split a smaller source file.

Privacy and security

The selected PDF is read and split in this browser tab. This tool contains no file-upload step; the page PDFs and ZIP are generated on your device.

Frequently asked questions

How are the split pages delivered?

Each page is saved as a separate PDF inside split-pages.zip. Extract the ZIP after downloading to use the individual files.

Can I split only a few selected pages?

This tool creates a file for every page. Use Extract PDF Pages when you need to select particular pages for one new PDF.

Does a one-page PDF still produce a ZIP?

Yes. It produces a ZIP containing page-1.pdf, so the output format stays consistent.
