How do I save each page of a PDF as a separate file?

Add the document and split it. Each page becomes its own single-page PDF, and all of them are packaged into one zip so you get a single download rather than one per page.

Can I split only part of a document?

Yes. Give a page range and only those pages are split out. The rest of the document is ignored.

Why is the result a zip file?

Because a hundred-page document produces a hundred files, and a hundred separate download prompts is unusable. The zip is assembled in your browser too — it is not created on a server and sent back.

What is the difference between splitting and extracting?

Splitting produces many files, one per page. Extracting produces one file containing the pages you chose. If you want pages 5 to 9 as a single document, extract; if you want them as five documents, split.

Does splitting reduce quality?

No. Each page is copied as it is, without re-compression. Images are not re-encoded and text is not rasterised.

Is my document uploaded?

No. The split and the zip both happen in this browser tab. The Uploaded readout beside the result measures the page's own outbound network traffic, so a successful split reads 0 B.

Is there a page limit?

None imposed. Very long documents are limited by your device's memory, since every resulting file is held in memory before the zip is built.

Will there be a watermark?

No. Nothing is stamped onto any page and no feature is paywalled.

Are password-protected PDFs supported?

Documents that only restrict editing will usually work. Documents that require a password to open cannot be read without it. Remove the password in your PDF reader first.

Will the individual files add up to the original size?

Often they total more. A PDF shares resources such as embedded fonts across pages, and once each page is its own document, each copy needs its own share of those resources.

What next

How do I split a PDF into separate pages?

To split a PDF, drop the file onto this page and download the result as a zip containing one PDF per page. The split runs inside your browser, so the document is never uploaded, there is no page limit, and no watermark is added. Your original file is left untouched.

How to do it

Add your PDF. Drag it onto the panel or click to choose. The page count is read from the file.
Choose what to split out. Split every page into its own file, or give a range to split only part of the document.
Split. Each page is copied into its own new PDF locally, without re-compression.
Download the zip. The individual files are packaged into a single zip so you get one download instead of dozens.

One file per page

Splitting produces a separate single-page PDF for every page in your document, packaged into a zip.

The zip matters more than it seems. A ninety-page document produces ninety files, and ninety browser download prompts would be unusable. The archive is assembled locally too — it is not built on a server and sent back to you.

Split or extract?

They answer different questions.

Split gives you many files, one per page. Right when each page needs to go somewhere different — separate invoices, individual certificates, pages to be filed separately.
Extract gives you one file containing the pages you chose. Right when you want a shorter document.

If you want pages 5 to 9 as a single document, extract. If you want them as five documents, split.

Splitting part of a document

You do not have to split everything. Give a page range and only those pages are separated out; the rest of the document is ignored.

What happens to the pages

Each is copied into its own new document as it is, with no re-compression. Images are not re-encoded and text is not rasterised, so quality is untouched.

One consequence to expect: the individual files often total more than the original. A PDF shares resources such as embedded font subsets across all its pages. Once every page is its own document, each one needs its own copy of the fonts it uses.

Nothing is transmitted

The document is read into memory in your browser, the pages are separated there, and the zip is built there. The Uploaded readout beside the result measures this page’s own outbound network calls and reads 0 B on success.
