Split a PDF into single pages, custom page ranges, or extract selected pages into a new file. Everything runs locally in your browser — your document is never uploaded. Split PDF is a free, browser-based tool in the Toolsnest pdf tools collection — there is nothing to install, no account to create and no watermark on your results. It works on desktop, tablet and mobile, and because the work happens on your own device it stays fast even with large inputs.

Frequently asked questions

How do I split a PDF into separate pages?

Choose “Every page” to get one PDF per page, delivered as a ZIP, or use “Custom ranges”/“Select pages” to control exactly which pages go into each output.

Can I extract specific pages?

Yes. Use “Select pages” and click the pages you want — they’re pulled into a single new PDF.

Does splitting upload my file?

No. It runs entirely in your browser with pdf-lib; your PDF never leaves your device.
