Split PDF Files by Page or Range
Break a large PDF into smaller files or save just the pages you need. Split by custom ranges, gather selected pages into one file, save every page on its own, or cut the document into equal parts every N pages. Everything runs in your browser, so the document never leaves your device.
Your file is processed by your own browser and never uploaded. Most online tools send your document to their servers and delete it later — this one never receives it at all.

Split PDF: frequently asked questions
How do I split a PDF into individual pages?
Choose Every page and click Split. PDFSpark creates one PDF per page, and you can download them all at once as a ZIP or save individual files. If you only need a few pages, Selected pages is quicker.
How do I extract specific pages from a PDF?
Choose Selected pages and tap the pages you want; they're saved together in one new PDF. If you'd rather have separate files, use Custom ranges instead, and each range becomes its own PDF.
Does splitting a PDF reduce quality?
No. Splitting copies the original pages into new files without re-rendering them, so text stays sharp and searchable and images keep their resolution. Each new PDF is simply a subset of the pages you already had. If a part is still too large to send, try Compress PDF on it afterwards.
Is it safe to split confidential PDFs online?
With PDFSpark, yes, because the splitting happens in your browser rather than on a server. The file is read from your device, processed in memory and saved back to your downloads. Nothing is uploaded or stored, which is why it works well for HR files, legal documents and personal records.
Can I split a PDF on Mac or iPhone?
Yes. PDFSpark works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge on macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, with nothing to install. On a phone, tap the drop area to choose a PDF from Files, select your pages or ranges, and download the parts. Large documents process faster on a computer.
Can I split a PDF into equal parts?
Yes. Choose Every N pages and enter a number: a 12-page PDF split every 5 pages gives three files with 5, 5 and 2 pages. Download the parts separately or together as a ZIP.
