About this tool — Split PDF
Splitting a large PDF into smaller, focused documents is a task that comes up constantly — extracting a single chapter from an e-book, separating individual invoices from a monthly batch export, or pulling one signed page out of a lengthy contract. PDF Genie's Split PDF tool gives you precise control over exactly which pages end up in each output file.
You can split by fixed intervals (for example, every two pages) or supply custom page ranges like "1-5, 8, 11-15". Each range you specify becomes its own downloadable PDF. You can also split every page into its own individual file, which is useful when you need to process or share each page separately.
The entire operation happens in your browser. Your files are loaded into memory using the PDF-lib library, processed client-side, and the output files are offered for download — nothing is uploaded to our servers. This means your sensitive documents stay completely private throughout the process.
Split PDF is used by legal professionals who need to file specific exhibits, teachers distributing individual assignment sheets from a compiled packet, and businesses separating multi-customer documents generated by their accounting systems. It is equally useful for personal tasks like dividing a scanned book into chapters or trimming a presentation to share only selected slides.
With PDF Genie you get a clean, fast interface with no file-size gotchas for browser-based splitting, no registration wall, and no watermarks on the output — just the pages you asked for, packaged exactly the way you need them.
Frequently asked questions
How do I specify page ranges?+
Enter comma-separated ranges like "1-3, 5, 7-9". Each range becomes its own PDF file. Page numbers are 1-based.
Is it really free?+
Yes. Split PDF is 100% free — no sign-up, no watermarks. We cap usage at 10 operations per day per visitor to keep the service fast for everyone.
Are my files private?+
For most tools your file never leaves your browser — everything runs locally. For Office conversions (which need LibreOffice on our server), files are processed and deleted immediately after conversion.
Is there a file size limit?+
Browser-based tools depend on your device's memory; most files under 200 MB work fine. Server-side conversions are capped at 50 MB.
