Split PDF

Choose a PDF and cut it into separate files: every page on its own, every few pages, or wherever you tap. If your form has a KB limit, each file is made to fit. It is made on your device, so your PDF is never uploaded.

Split a PDF →No account needed. No watermark.

How it works

  1. Choose your PDF

    Pick a PDF from your phone or computer. Up to 25 pages are opened. A PDF with a password asks for it.

  2. Choose where to split

    Tap Every page, Every 2 pages or another button, or tap Split here between two pages. Each file is shown as File 1, File 2 and so on, with its pages.

  3. Pick the size of each file

    Good quality has no limit. Tap Under 100 KB, 200 KB or another size if your form has a limit, or type your own number of KB.

  4. Split and save

    Tap Split my PDF. Save each file on its own, or all of them in one ZIP. Take out or turn pages before you split, if you need to.

Why use this tool

You choose where to cut

Tap between two pages to start a new file there, and tap again to join them back. Every file is shown with its pages before you split.

Every page, or every few pages

One tap makes a file of every page, or of every 2, 3 or 5 pages. Names such as report-pages-1-3.pdf keep them in order.

Under your KB limit, file by file

Each file is made to fit under the limit you choose, and you see the size of each one before you save.

Writing stays sharp

The pages are copied as they are when the file is small enough, so text stays text. They are made lighter only as much as a limit needs.

Save one, or all of them

Save any file on its own, save them all in one ZIP, or send them from the Share menu of your phone.

Private, and a password is fine

The PDF is opened and cut in your browser, on your device. Nothing is sent to a server. A PDF with a password asks for it, and the new files have none.

Tips for splitting a PDF

Questions

Is this split PDF tool free?
Yes. It is free to use, with no watermark and no account.
How do I split a PDF into separate pages?
Open the tool, choose your PDF, tap Every page, and tap Split my PDF. Every page becomes its own PDF. Save them one by one, or all of them in one ZIP.
How do I split a PDF at a page I choose?
Choose your PDF and tap Split here between the two pages where you want to cut. A new file starts at that page. You can tap more places, and tap a File button to join it back to the file above.
How do I make each file under 100 KB or 200 KB?
Pick Under 100 KB or Under 200 KB (or type the number you need) before you tap Split my PDF. Each file is made to fit, and you see the size of each one before you save.
Can I save all the files at once?
Yes. Tap Save all as a ZIP, or use Share on your phone to send all the files to another app. You can also save the files one by one.
How many pages can I split?
Up to 25 pages. If your PDF has more, the first 25 are opened and you are told.
Will the writing stay sharp?
Yes, when the files are small enough. The pages are copied as they are, so text stays text and you can still select it. If a file has to be smaller to fit your limit, its pages are made into pictures, only as sharp as the limit allows.
What if a file does not fit under the limit?
You are told, and the files that are still too big are marked with the smallest size they can be. Try the Document look, take out a page, or choose a bigger limit.
Can I split a PDF that has a password?
Yes. Nova Forms asks for the password and opens the PDF on your device. The new files have no password, and the password is not kept or sent anywhere.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The PDF is opened and cut in your browser, on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It is made for phones, with big buttons. Chrome, Edge and Safari all work.
