Split PDF
Upload your files here
Splitting a PDF means dividing one multi-page document into smaller independent files. You might pull a single chapter out of a report, separate the forms in a scanned batch, or break a long file into sections to send. It can be done by naming a page range, by cutting at a fixed interval, or by separating every page on its own.

Key Facts
LittlePDF Split PDF offers three modes: a custom page range using syntax like 1-3, 5, 7-10; a fixed interval of N pages; or one file per page, with multi-file output packaged as a ZIP.
Splitting runs entirely client-side in the browser using the pdf-lib library, so the document is never uploaded to a server.
Each split costs 1 credit; free accounts get 500 credits per day and can split files up to 25 MB, while Pro raises the limit to 500 MB per file.
How to Split PDF in 3 Steps
Drop a PDF into the upload area, or click to browse for it.
Pick a mode: a custom range like 1-3, 5, 7-10, a fixed interval of N pages, or one file per page.
Click Split and the result downloads as a single PDF or, for multi-file modes, a ZIP archive.
Why Split PDF with LittlePDF?
Three modes cover the real cases: name an exact range, cut at a fixed interval, or burst every page into its own file.
The split runs in your browser with pdf-lib, so the document is never uploaded to a server.
Pages are copied rather than re-rendered, so the output is as crisp as the original.
One credit per split against 500 free credits a day means routine splitting costs you nothing in practice.
Features
Clickable Page Grid
Every page renders as a thumbnail you can tap to select. In range mode you can either click pages or type syntax like 1-3, 5, 7-10, so you see what you are picking before anything is processed.
Single File or ZIP
A custom range comes back as one PDF. Interval and per-page modes can produce many files, so those are bundled automatically into a ZIP named by part, with no manual saving page by page.
Stays on Your Device
pdf-lib reads the source and writes every output locally. There is no upload step and no copy of your file left sitting on someone else's server after the split.
