How to Split a PDF

1

Upload Your PDF

Drag a PDF onto the upload zone or pick it from your device. The file is processed locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

2

Pick Your Split Strategy

Choose one of three modes: extract a specific page list (e.g. 1, 4, 7), extract one or more page ranges (e.g. 5–9, 12–15), or burst the PDF into one PDF per page.

3

Download the Result

For a single extract you get one PDF; for multiple ranges or burst mode you get a ZIP archive containing all the resulting PDFs in their correct order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between extract, range and burst?

Extract grabs an arbitrary list of pages (e.g. 1, 3, 7) into one PDF. Range grabs one or several contiguous spans (e.g. 1–5 and 10–12) into separate PDFs. Burst splits every page into its own one-page PDF — handy for archiving or sending invoices individually.

Will bookmarks and forms be preserved?

Yes. ZentoPDF copies the source page objects (including annotations and form fields) into each output PDF. Bookmarks that pointed to a page now included in an output file are preserved; bookmarks pointing to excluded pages are dropped.

Is there a file size or page limit?

No artificial limits — only your device’s memory. Modern laptops handle PDFs with hundreds or thousands of pages without trouble, and the tool is 100% free with no signup or daily quota.

Are my files uploaded?

No. All splitting happens locally in your browser using pdf-lib. Your original PDF and every resulting split file never leave your device, which makes the tool safe for confidential documents.

What if I need to keep both the original and the split version?

ZentoPDF never overwrites your original PDF — splitting always produces brand-new files for download while leaving the source on your device untouched. Save the resulting files wherever you like alongside the original.
