About the Split PDF
Often you only need part of a PDF — one chapter, a single invoice page or the signed page of a contract. Splitting creates new, smaller PDF files without changing the original.
Choose to save every page as its own PDF, split by ranges such as 1-3, 4-6, or extract chosen pages into one new document. Multiple files are downloaded together as a ZIP.

Why use PandaToolDesk?
Private by design. The Split PDF runs completely inside your browser. Your files are never uploaded to our servers, so nobody else can see them — not even us.
Free with no limits. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. Use it as often as you like on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android or iPhone.
Fast results. Because there is nothing to upload, even large files are processed quickly — the speed depends only on your own device.
Frequently asked questions
How do I write page ranges?

Is the original PDF changed?
No. New PDF files are created and the original stays the same.
Can I split a scanned PDF?
Yes. Scanned PDFs are split just like any other PDF.
