Split PDF Files Online — Free, Private, No Limits
Got a 50-page PDF but only need pages 12-15? Don't email the whole thing. Split it. PeacefulPDF lets you extract exactly the pages you need, right in your browser, without uploading anything.
Three split modes cover every use case. Custom ranges turns each range you type (like "1-3, 7, 12-15") into its own PDF — the thumbnails show exactly which pages land in which file before you split. Every N pages chops a long document into equal chunks — handy for breaking a textbook into chapters. Pick pages lets you click page thumbnails to pull just those pages into a new file.
The entire process runs locally. Your PDF loads into browser memory, gets split using pdf-lib, and the results download straight to your device — individually or as a single ZIP. No server touches your files. No account needed. No daily limits.

FAQ
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
You'll need to unlock it first. Use our Unlock PDF tool, then split the unlocked version.
Can I download all the split files at once?
Yes. When a split produces more than one file, a "Download all" button bundles them into a single ZIP.
What's the difference between Split and Extract?
Split creates multiple output files from one PDF. Extract pulls specific pages into a single new file — that's what the "Pick pages" mode does here.
