Split PDF

Cut a PDF into separate files — pick the exact pages visually.

Open the free tool

No account needed — it opens right in your browser, with your file private to you.

🛡 Private to you · files are deleted after 60 minutes

To split a PDF into separate files, open it in the free tool, pick fixed intervals, page ranges or exact cut points on the thumbnails, and download each part as its own PDF — plus a zip with everything. The original file stays unchanged.

How it works

  1. 1

    Open your PDF

    The free tool opens in your browser and shows every page as a thumbnail.

  2. 2

    Choose where to cut

    Split at fixed intervals, select ranges, or click the exact pages each new file should contain.

  3. 3

    Download the parts

    Each part becomes its own PDF, and a zip collects them all in one download.

Visual and precise

You see every page before cutting, so the right pages land in the right file the first time.

Ranges or every N pages

Split a 100-page scan into ten 10-page files in one go, or carve out just the chapter you need.

Originals untouched

Splitting copies pages into new files — your source PDF stays exactly as it was.

Frequently asked questions

Can I split by page ranges?

Yes — define any ranges you like (for example 1–4, 5–9, 10–12), or split every N pages automatically.

Do I need an account?

No. The split tool opens free in your browser; a free account just raises the daily task and size limits.

Does splitting reduce quality?

No. Pages are copied into the new files without any recompression.

How do I get all the parts?

Each part downloads on its own, and a single zip archive bundles every part in one click.

How do I split a PDF without Acrobat?

Open the PDF in PDFVelvet’s split tool in your browser — no install needed. Choose ranges or click the pages where each new file should start, then download the parts.
