Split PDF
Add one PDF, then extract a page range or split every page into separate files.
Split PDF extracts the pages you name — a range, a list, or every page as its own file — and writes each part as a real PDF with its pages untouched. It runs in your browser; “Every page” downloads a ZIP, and a page range or list downloads a single PDF.
Split PDF lets you pull a specific range of pages out of a document, or break a PDF into one file per page. Use it to save just the pages you need or to separate a bundle into individual pages. Split PDF is one of UnboundPDF's 53 free browser-based PDF and image tools: it runs on your own device with no upload, no account and no watermark, and reports what it measured on the output.

Questions about Split PDF 6
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. UnboundPDF processes PDFs locally in the browser — documents are not uploaded to a server. We have no backend that receives, stores, or scans your files.
How do I type which pages to keep?
Enter page numbers and ranges separated by commas, such as 1-3, 5, 8-10. Clicking thumbnails fills in the same box automatically.
What do I get when I split every page?
You get a ZIP file containing one single-page PDF for each page of the original document.
How do I choose the pages to keep?
Type a range like 2-4, or a list like 1,3,5. To split into one file per page, pick the every-page option instead.
Do extracted pages keep their original quality?
Yes. Pages are copied exactly, so text, images and formatting are unchanged.
Can I split a PDF into individual pages at once?
Yes. The every-page mode produces one PDF per page, delivered together in a single download.

How your files are handled
The work runs on your own device, inside the browser tab — so there is no server to send your document to.
- Nothing is uploaded. We have no backend that receives or stores documents, so we cannot see your files during processing or after.
- Your device does the work. Large documents are handled in stages, pages are rendered as you reach them, and each job is checked against your device before it starts — so a long run takes longer on a phone than on a laptop, nothing is queued behind other people's jobs, and you can stop a run at any point without touching your original file.
- No account and no watermark. The output is a clean file you can use anywhere, with no sign-up and no hourly cap.
