How to Split a PDF Free

Upload your PDF, choose how to split — by page number, by page ranges, or into individual pages — then click Split. Download the resulting files. All processing runs in your browser with no file upload to any server.

Splitting a PDF separates it into two or more smaller files without modifying the original content. Pages are extracted exactly as they appear in the source — no re-rendering, no quality loss, text layers and hyperlinks fully preserved.

Split Methods

Split at a page — Divides the document into two parts at a specified page. Fast for halving a document.

Extract ranges — Define multiple ranges (1–5, 6–12, 13–20) to produce several output files in one operation. Ideal for splitting into chapters, sections, or topics.

Extract all pages — One PDF per page. Useful for isolating a specific page (a certificate, a chart, a signature page) or processing pages individually.

Common Use Cases

Extracting a single page. Pull out a certificate, a data table, or a single page of a contract for sharing without revealing the rest of the document.

Separating a scanned bundle. When multiple separate documents were scanned together into one PDF, split them back into individual files by page range.

Dividing a large report. Split a long document into sections for different recipients, or break it into smaller parts to meet email attachment size limits.

Separating exhibits from a legal bundle. Extract specific exhibit pages from a large legal document pack for separate reference.

Creating page extracts. Pull specific non-consecutive pages using the range method — for example, pages 1, 5, 10, and 15 from a larger document.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does splitting reduce document quality?

No. Splitting is an organisational operation — pages are extracted without re-rendering. Text, images, and formatting in the split output are identical to the original. Unlike tools that re-render pages as images, this preserves the searchable text layer.

Are there file size limits?

No fixed limits. Processing uses your device memory — large files work correctly on modern devices, though very large documents (100MB+) may take a few seconds longer.

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

Remove the password first using the Unlock PDF tool, then split. Re-apply protection to individual output files if needed using the Protect PDF tool.

Does splitting preserve bookmarks and hyperlinks?

Hyperlinks within the extracted page range are preserved. Document-level bookmarks referencing pages outside the extracted range are removed, as those pages no longer exist in the output file. Internal cross-references that fall within the extracted range remain functional.

Is the original file affected when I split?

No. The original PDF on your device is never modified. The split operation reads the original and produces new output files. Your source document is unchanged.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. All processing runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF never leaves your device — important for confidential documents like legal contracts, financial statements, and personal records.

Common Reasons to Split a PDF

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extract just one page from a PDF?

Yes. Enter the page number in the range field (e.g. "3" to extract only page 3) and click Split. You will receive a single-page PDF containing that page only.

Can I split by specific page ranges?

Yes. Enter ranges like "1-5, 8, 11-15" to extract those specific pages into separate PDF files. Each range becomes its own output document.

Is Split PDF free?

Completely free. No sign-up, no subscription, no watermarks on the output files.

Does splitting damage the original PDF?

No. Rifix works on a copy of your document in memory. Your original file is never modified. The split outputs are new files downloaded to your device.

Are my files safe?

Yes. Rifix processes all files entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded to any server, making it safe for splitting sensitive documents like legal contracts, financial statements, or medical records.

What happens to bookmarks when I split a PDF?

Bookmarks that reference pages within the extracted range are preserved in the output file. Bookmarks referencing pages outside the extracted range are dropped, as those pages no longer exist in the output document.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extract just one page from a PDF?

Yes. Enter the single page number in the page range field (e.g. '3') to extract just that one page as a new PDF file.

Will splitting a PDF reduce the quality?

No. Splitting extracts the original page data without re-encoding. The output pages are identical in quality to the originals.

Is there a limit on how many pages I can split?

No limit. You can split PDFs of any length. All processing happens in your browser, so very long documents may take a few seconds on older devices.

Can I split a scanned PDF?

Yes. Splitting works on all PDF types including scanned documents, since it works on the page structure rather than the content.
