What counts as an operation?
An operation is one completed use of a tool, such as merging a set of PDFs, compressing one PDF, or resizing one image. Browsing tools, selecting files, changing settings, validation errors, and failed processing do not use an operation.

How it works
Splitting a PDF lets you extract exactly the pages you need from a larger document. This is useful when you receive a combined report and only need one chapter, when a contract has multiple sections you want to share separately, or when you scanned a document and want to isolate individual pages.
ToolPDFs Split PDF processes document contents in this browser without sending them to ToolPDFs application APIs. Enter a page range in the format shown, for example 1-3,5 to extract pages 1 through 3 and page 5, then click download. The result is a new PDF containing only those pages.
The tool is free with no account required. Password protected, damaged, or unsupported files can fail, and practical file size depends on available browser and device memory.

Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded to a server when I split it?
No. The split handler reads and copies pages in this browser. It does not send document contents to ToolPDFs application APIs.
What page range format should I use?
Use comma-separated ranges and individual page numbers. For example, 1-3,5 extracts pages 1, 2, 3, and 5. Ranges like 2-6 extract a consecutive sequence.
Can I extract non-consecutive pages?
Yes. Separate individual pages and ranges with commas. For example, 1,3,7-9 extracts pages 1, 3, 7, 8, and 9.
Does the tool split a PDF into individual pages automatically?
Not automatically. Enter a range that covers just one page at a time to extract a single page. For a full automatic split into individual pages, enter each page number separately.
