Split PDF
Extract a page range into one PDF, or split every page into a ZIP of individual PDFs.
How to Split a PDF Online — No Upload Required
LovelyPDF lets you extract specific pages from any PDF, or split every page into a separate file and download as a ZIP archive. Everything runs in your browser — your PDF is never sent to any server. Choose a page range, pick individual pages, or burst the entire document in one click.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Upload your PDF by clicking or dragging it into the tool
- Choose a page range (e.g. pages 3–7) or select Split All Pages
- Click Split PDF — download a single PDF or a ZIP of all pages
Why Split PDFs in Your Browser?
When you use a server-based PDF splitter, your entire document — including pages you do not need to share — gets uploaded to someone else's server. LovelyPDF eliminates this risk entirely. Your PDF is processed using pdf-lib directly in your browser tab. Close the tab and the file is gone from memory automatically.
Common Use Cases
- Extracting a single contract page for signature
- Separating a large scanned document into individual pages
- Removing cover pages or blank pages before sharing
- Splitting a combined bank statement into individual months
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
The tool works with unlocked PDFs. Unlock your PDF first before splitting.
What happens to my file after splitting?
Your file is processed entirely in your browser and deleted from memory when you close the tab. Nothing is stored on any server.
Can I split a 100-page PDF into individual pages?
Yes. Select Split All Pages and you will receive a ZIP file containing one PDF per page.
