Split PDF
Browser-onlySplit a PDF into smaller files by page range, or extract individual pages as standalone PDFs. Runs entirely in your browser - no upload, no signup.
How it works
1. Add one PDF
Choose the source PDF from your device. The file stays in your browser.
2. Define sub-files
Name each output and choose pages with ranges like 1-4, 8, 10-12.
3. Download ZIP
The split PDFs download together in one ZIP file. Nothing was uploaded.
Why use this splitter
- Browser-only. Your PDF never leaves your device. No upload, no server, no log.
- Flexible outputs. Create several named PDFs from one source file instead of splitting one page at a time.
- Custom ranges. Use individual pages, ranges, or comma-separated combinations.
- Free forever. No signup, no rate limits, no paywall.
About Split PDF
Workforge Split PDF breaks one PDF into smaller documents based on the page ranges you choose. Pull pages 1 through 5 into one file, pages 6 through 10 into another, or extract a single signed page on its own. The whole operation runs in your browser, so your source PDF never leaves your device. No upload, no waiting queue, no watermark, no signup.
Common use cases include separating a multi-recipient contract package, pulling specific pages from a long government PDF, extracting an invoice from a monthly statement bundle, or breaking a large scan into chapter files. You can run as many splits as you want in a single session and download each output as a separate PDF or as a single ZIP.
The tool preserves the original page content, embedded fonts, and metadata of each kept page. Encrypted PDFs must be decrypted first; the tool warns you if a file is locked. Bookmarks that point to extracted pages are kept and remapped, while bookmarks pointing to discarded pages are dropped to avoid broken links.
Most online PDF splitters upload your file to a third-party server, watermark the output, or gate the export behind a free tier. Workforge Split PDF does none of that. There is no rate limit, no free-trial timer, and nothing is sent to our servers. Split a confidential PDF here and it stays confidential by construction.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The split happens in your browser. Your PDF never leaves your device.
Can I extract just one page?
Yes. Specify a single-page range like 7-7 to export only page 7. You can also extract several non-contiguous pages in one operation.
What if my PDF is password-protected?
Remove the password first using your PDF reader. The tool will detect locked files and warn you.
Is the output the same quality as the original?
Yes. Page content, embedded fonts, and vector graphics are kept byte-for-byte from the source.
Is there a page count limit?
No hard limit. Practical limits depend on your browser memory; multi-hundred-page documents work fine on a modern laptop.
