Split PDF online free using our fast, secure PDF splitter. Separate PDF pages into individual files, extract specific page ranges, or divide a large document into smaller sections — all with full visual page preview. No Adobe Acrobat, no software installation, no signup, no watermarks.
An online PDF splitter lets you separate PDF pages or extract page ranges from a PDF directly in your browser — no Adobe Acrobat, no software installation, and no account needed. Upload your PDF and download the pages you need as a new, separate PDF in seconds.
At PDFFixNow, you can split PDF online for free. Works on Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android.
When to split vs. when to extract: Use splitting when you want to divide the entire document into multiple separate output files — for example, turning a 10-chapter report into 10 individual chapter files. Use extracting when you want to save only specific pages as a new document, leaving the original intact.
How our splitter works: Upload your PDF and all pages are displayed as visual thumbnails. You can click individual pages to select them for extraction, or type page ranges in the input field (e.g. 1-5, 8, 12-15) to define sections automatically. Once your selection is confirmed, click Split PDF and download your new document immediately.
Upload your PDF
Drag and drop your PDF into the upload box or click to browse your device. All pages load as visual thumbnails so you can see the content of each page before selecting.
Select pages or enter page ranges
Click individual page thumbnails to select them, or type page ranges in the input field (e.g. 1-5, 10, 15-20). Selected pages are highlighted. You can select as many or as few pages as needed.
Download your split PDF
Click "Split PDF" to process your selection. Download the new PDF containing only your selected pages. Your original file is never modified — the split result is always a separate new document.
Splitting a PDF is useful in many professional, academic, and personal workflows. Here are the most common situations where dividing or extracting PDF pages saves time.
Extract Specific Pages
Click individual page thumbnails to select exactly which pages to extract, or type page ranges (e.g. 1-5, 10, 15-20) to define a custom selection. Download only the pages you need as a new PDF.
Split by Page Range
Define custom page ranges to split your PDF into specific sections or chapters. Each range becomes a separate output file — perfect for breaking a large report into individual chapters.
Visual Page Preview
Every page is displayed as a thumbnail so you can see the exact content before selecting. Click to select or deselect pages visually — no guessing page numbers.
Secure & Private
All uploads are protected with TLS encryption. Your PDF files are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers after 2 hours. We never read, store, or share your documents.
Fast Processing
Our optimized splitting engine processes even large PDFs with hundreds of pages in seconds. Download is instant once processing completes.
100% Original Quality
Extracted and split pages retain 100% of their original quality — all fonts, images, vector graphics, and formatting are preserved exactly as they appeared in the source PDF.
