About Split PDF
Split PDF divides a single PDF into multiple smaller files. Choose how to split: by custom page ranges (e.g. pages 1–5, 6–10), every N pages, or extract each page as its own file.

All processing runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device. Download the results individually or as a convenient ZIP archive.
