How it works
How to split a PDF
Three quick steps, all in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.
- 01
Add your PDF
Drop a PDF into the box above or browse for it. The file loads straight into your browser and its pages appear as thumbnails — nothing is uploaded to a server.
- 02
Choose how to split
Split by page range, break the document every N pages, or click individual pages to extract them. A live summary shows exactly how many files you'll get.
- 03
Split and download
Click Split and save your new PDFs instantly. A single file downloads on its own; multiple files arrive as one tidy zip — no watermark, no account, no waiting.
Modes
Three ways to split a PDF
One tool covers every way you might need to break up a document. Pick the method that matches the job — they all run locally and download in seconds.
Split by page range
Type ranges like 1-3, 5, 8-10 and each one becomes its own PDF. Perfect for pulling chapters, sections, or signed pages out of a long document in a single pass.
Split every N pages
Break a large PDF into evenly sized files — one page each, or chunks of any size you set with the slider. Ideal for separating a stack of scans into individual documents.
Select & extract pages
Click the exact pages you need in the preview grid and pull them into one new PDF, in the order you choose. The cleanest way to extract specific pages from a PDF.
Features
Everything you can do with the PDF splitter
One focused tool for breaking a document into the files you need — without a subscription or a single upload.
Live page thumbnails
Every page is rendered as a preview right in your browser, so you can see exactly what you're keeping before you split — no guessing by page number.
Flexible range syntax
Enter comma-separated ranges like 1-3, 5, 8-10. Each range exports as its own file, validated against the document so you never get an empty result.
Click-to-extract pages
Tap individual pages to build a single new PDF in your chosen order. Each selected page shows its position, so the output is exactly what you picked.
Batch export as a zip
Splitting into several files? They're bundled into one zip download automatically, so you grab the whole set in a single click.
No watermark, ever
Your split PDFs come out clean. No stamps, no branding, no trial badge — just the pages you asked for at their original quality.
Works offline
Once this page has loaded you can disconnect entirely. Splitting keeps running with zero network access — your pages stay on your device.
Privacy
Your files never leave your device
Adobe, Smallpdf, and iLovePDF upload your file to a server to split it — and several make you sign in first. PDFNEO does all of the splitting locally, so contracts, scans, and records stay private.

Why PDFNEO
Split PDF vs. the alternatives
Most online splitters route your document through their servers. PDFNEO was built the opposite way — and that changes everything about speed, privacy, and cost.
Truly private splitting
Your file is split in your browser and never uploaded. Sensitive contracts and records never touch a third-party server.
Instant, no round-trip
There is no upload wait and no download queue. Splitting starts the moment you click — even on slow or metered connections.
Free with no catches
No daily limits, no premium gate, no watermark, and no account. Split as many PDFs as your device can handle.
