About this tool
Splitting is useful when a portal only accepts one document per upload, when you need to send a single invoice from a monthly batch, or when a scanned book needs to be broken into chapters.
Ranges use the same syntax as print dialogs: commas separate parts and a dash means a span. An open range like 8- runs to the last page.
Three ways to split
Single pages, hand-picked ranges or fixed-size chunks, so you never need a second tool.
ZIP in one click
Dozens of parts download together as a single ZIP archive.
Lossless
Each part is an exact copy of the original pages, with selectable text and full quality.
Split PDF FAQ
How do I extract only certain pages instead of splitting everything?
Use custom ranges and type just the pages you need, or use the Extract pages tool to pick pages visually and get them in one file.
What does 'every N pages' do?
It cuts the document into equal parts. For a 30-page file and N = 10 you get three PDFs of 10 pages each.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Not yet. Remove the password in your PDF reader first, then split it here.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. pdfy processes your files inside your browser using your own device. Local tools do not upload documents. If you choose Save draft, that draft is stored only in this browser. You can confirm it in your browser's network panel: no file is ever sent.
Is it really free? Are there limits?
Yes, it is free with no sign up, no watermark on your output and no daily task limit. Because your device does the work, the only practical limit is your device's memory.
