What does splitting a PDF mean?

Splitting a PDF means taking one document and breaking it into smaller, separate PDFs — a single chapter, one page, or a set of ranges. It is one of the most common everyday document tasks in the UK:

  • HMRC & Self Assessment: pull the exact pages a return or accountant needs out of a larger bundle.
  • Mortgage & rental applications: separate three months of bank statements or payslips into individual files for a lender or letting agent.
  • Job applications: extract your CV or a single certificate from a combined PDF.
  • NHS & medical: split a long records pack into the pages a clinic actually requested.
  • University & UCAS: separate transcripts and certificates for an application portal.

How to split a PDF

  1. Add your PDF: drag it into the box above or click to choose a file.
  2. Pick a split mode: custom ranges, every N pages, extract pages, by size, or by bookmarks.
  3. Set your options: type ranges like 1-3, 4-8, or click the pages you want to keep.
  4. Split PDF: processing happens instantly, right in your browser.
  5. Download: save a single file, or download every part bundled in one ZIP.

The different split modes explained

  • Custom ranges: enter ranges such as 1-3, 4-8, 9 to create one PDF per range.
  • Every N pages: break a long document into equal chunks — e.g. one file every 2 pages.
  • Extract pages: hand-pick the exact pages and either save each on its own or merge them into one PDF.
  • By size: automatically pack pages into files that stay under a target size in MB — perfect for upload limits. (Many tools lock this behind a paid plan; here it is free.)
  • By bookmarks: split into one file per bookmarked section — ideal for reports and e-books with an outline.

Your files never leave your device

Most well-known tools — including iLovePDF and Smallpdf — upload your PDF to their servers before splitting it. Ours does not. The split happens entirely inside your browser, so nothing is ever transmitted. Under UK GDPR the safest way to handle personal data — bank statements, payslips, medical records — is not to share it at all. With local processing there is nothing on our servers to leak, log or retain.

Why our Split PDF tool beats the alternatives

  • No upload. Files are split locally and never leave your device.
  • No limits. No 100 MB cap, no daily quota.
  • No watermark. Your downloaded files stay clean.
  • Free split-by-size and split-by-bookmarks — features rivals charge for or do not offer.
  • No sign-up, no ads. Straight to the result on desktop or mobile.
