Split PDF: free online, fast and secure
Large PDFs are hard to share and upload. Splitting lets you send only the chapter, statement month or invoice that someone needs. This free tool divides a PDF into multiple files exactly the way you want.
Type custom ranges like 1-3, 4-10, 11-end, split every N pages, or save every page as its own PDF. Thumbnails of all pages help you choose, and multiple results are packed into a single ZIP.
How to use Split PDF
- Choose your PDF. Select the file you want to split. Page thumbnails load below.
- Pick a split mode. Custom ranges, fixed size (every N pages) or every page.
- Split and download. One range downloads as a PDF; several ranges download together as a ZIP.

Good to know
There are two kinds of PDFs: digital PDFs created from Word, Excel or a website, which contain selectable text, and scanned PDFs, which are just photos of paper pages. Tools that edit pages, like Split PDF, work with both. Tools that read text work only with digital PDFs. If you can select a word in your PDF viewer, your file has a text layer.

How Split PDF keeps your PDF documents private
When you add a file to Split PDF, it is opened with your browser’s own engine, processed in memory and offered back to you as a download. ConvertKaro never receives a copy. This is why the tool is fast even on 4G, why there is no daily limit, and why it is safe for confidential PDF documents like ID proofs, bank documents, contracts and family photos.
