Split PDF
Extract pages or split a PDF into separate files, processed entirely on your device with zero uploads.
Splitting a PDF in PDF Vault extracts pages or breaks a document into separate files entirely on your device, with no upload.
Splitting matters most when a document contains more than the recipient should see. Pulling three pages out of a forty-page report, separating one client's records from a combined export, or extracting a single signed page — these are exactly the cases where sending the whole file to a conversion service is the wrong move.
This tool gives you two modes: burst every page into its own file, or extract a specific range such as 1-3, 7, 9-12. Both run locally and produce standard PDFs that open anywhere.
Nothing you do here is uploaded. The file is read into your browser's memory, processed by WebAssembly on your own machine, and written straight back to your downloads folder. You can confirm it yourself: open DevTools, switch to the Network tab, and run the tool — there is no request carrying your document, because there is no server endpoint to receive it.
How to split a PDF into separate files
- Load the PDF you want to divide.
- Choose a mode: split every page into its own file, or extract a custom range.
- For a custom range, type the pages you want using commas and hyphens, for example 1-3,7,9-12.
- Export. Single ranges download as one PDF; a full burst downloads each page as its own file.
What you get
- Flexible ranges. Mix individual pages and spans in one expression, like 1-3,7,9-12.
- Burst mode. Turn a long document into one file per page in a single action.
- Original untouched. The source file on your disk is never modified — you always get new output files.
- Instant. No upload wait, so extracting from a 300-page report is near-immediate.
Frequently asked questions
How do I extract just one page from a PDF?
Choose the custom range mode and enter that single page number. You get a one-page PDF back.
What page range syntax is supported?
Commas separate items and hyphens denote spans, so 1-3,7,9-12 gives you pages 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
Can I split a PDF into two halves?
Yes — run the tool twice with complementary ranges, for example 1-20 and then 21-40.
