About the Split PDF
The ByteTools PDF Splitter breaks one PDF into smaller documents. Split every page into its own PDF file, or pull out a specific range — for example pages 4 to 9 — as a brand-new document, then download the results instantly.
The splitter runs completely in your browser: your PDF is parsed and rebuilt locally with JavaScript and is never uploaded anywhere. That makes it safe for bank statements, contracts, exam papers and any document you would rather not hand to a random website.
Use it to separate a signed page from a contract, share one chapter of a report, break a scanned batch into individual documents, or trim a huge PDF down to just the pages a colleague actually needs.
Frequently asked questions
How do I split a PDF into separate pages for free?
Drop your PDF into the tool, choose 'Every page as a separate PDF' and click Split PDF. Each page becomes its own downloadable file, all generated locally in your browser at no cost and with no watermark.
Can I extract only certain pages from a PDF?
Yes. Switch to range mode and enter the first and last page, such as 4 to 9. The tool copies just those pages into a new PDF and leaves your original file untouched.
Is it safe to split confidential PDFs online?
With this tool, yes — the file is processed entirely on your device using JavaScript and is never transmitted to a server. You can even load the page, disconnect from the internet and still split the file.
Does splitting a PDF change its quality?
No. Splitting copies pages exactly as they are, including fonts, images and vector graphics, so each output file is pixel-identical to the corresponding pages of the original.
Why does my PDF fail to split?
The most common causes are password protection or a corrupted file. Encrypted PDFs cannot be opened without the password, so unlock the document first, then try again. Re-saving a damaged PDF from a viewer often repairs it.
