Split a PDF
Ethical Tube's free PDF splitter separates a PDF into single pages or extracts the pages you choose, in your browser. Type ranges like 1-3, 5, 8-10 to make one new PDF, or split every page into its own file. Pages are copied exactly, with selectable text, and your PDF is never uploaded.

Good to know
Page ranges
- Separate pages and ranges with commas: 1-3, 5, 8-10 keeps pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, and 10.
- Pages are kept in the order you type them, so 3, 1, 2 reorders them.
- Use a range that runs to the end, like 5-, to keep page 5 onward.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Is the PDF splitter free?
Yes. It's completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how many files you process. It costs Ethical Tube nothing to run, because the work happens on your own device rather than on a server.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens inside your browser, so your files never leave your device. Once the page has loaded, the tool even works offline.
How do I extract one page from a PDF?
Type the page number, like 4, and download the new PDF. It contains just that page.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied as they are, so text stays selectable and images keep their quality.
