How to Split a PDF into Separate Files

One 80-page PDF, and you only need pages 12–18 — or you need every chapter as its own file. Splitting solves both, and it does not require Acrobat or uploading the document anywhere.

Haven PDF splits files entirely in your browser: pick page ranges visually on thumbnails and download each part as its own PDF. Contracts, bank statements and reports stay on your device throughout — free, with no page or file limits.

How to

  1. Open the Split tool. Free, in your browser — no sign-up or install.
  2. Add your PDF. Page thumbnails appear; the file is processed locally.
  3. Choose the ranges. Select single pages or ranges (e.g. 12–18); each selection becomes its own file.
  4. Split and download. Download the parts individually or together as a ZIP.

Range split vs. single-page extract

Splitting by range turns chapters or exhibits into standalone documents. Extracting a single page is the same operation with a one-page range — “save page 5 as its own PDF” takes four clicks. For removing pages instead, the Delete pages tool is the shorter path.

See what you are splitting

Thumbnails matter for scans: printed page numbers rarely match PDF page positions. Select ranges visually so exhibit B really starts where you think it does — zoom in when pages look alike.

Private, free, unlimited

Everything runs on your device — the document is never uploaded, so splitting a 500-page bank archive is exactly as private as leaving it in the folder. No page cap, no watermark, no account.

Frequently asked questions

Can I split every page into its own file?
Yes — split into single pages and download the whole set as a ZIP in one go.
Does splitting change the original file?
No. New files are created for the parts; the original PDF stays untouched on your device.
Is the PDF uploaded while splitting?
No. The split runs entirely in your browser; the document never leaves your device.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Remove the protection first with the Unlock tool (you need the password), then split normally.
