Split a PDF
Break a PDF into smaller files without uploading anything. Choose the page ranges you want, or split every page into its own file, and FileTinker does it in your browser — your document never leaves your device.
How to split a PDF
- Add your PDF above by dropping it in or tapping to browse. It's read locally into your browser and never uploaded.
- Choose page ranges like 1-3, 5 to pull out specific sections, or set it to split every page into its own file.
- Press split and download. One range gives you a single PDF; several ranges or per-page splits come back as a ZIP.
About splitting PDFs
Splitting takes one PDF and breaks it into smaller files. You can extract a single range such as pages 2-6, list several ranges separated by commas to create multiple files at once, or burst the whole document into one file per page. The pages are copied exactly as they are, so text stays selectable and images keep their original quality.
It's useful for pulling one chapter out of a long report, separating a scanned bundle back into individual documents, or sharing just a few pages instead of the whole file. Because everything runs in your browser, your document never leaves your device and nothing is stored online — which matters for anything private.
Frequently asked questions
How do I split a PDF?
Add your PDF above, then choose the page ranges you want (for example 1-3, 5) or split every page into its own file. FileTinker creates the new file(s) in your browser and gives you a download — a single PDF for one range, or a ZIP when you make several.
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
No. Splitting happens entirely in your browser, so your PDF never leaves your device and nothing is stored online.
Can I extract just a few pages from a PDF?
Yes. Enter a range like 2-6 to pull out those pages, or list several ranges separated by commas to create multiple files at once.
Will splitting reduce the quality of my pages?
No. Pages are copied exactly as they are into the new file, so text stays selectable and images keep their original quality.
