Upload one PDF
Add the document you want to break into smaller pieces.
Split PDF
Split one PDF into smaller files without leaving the browser.
Export every page as its own PDF or split the document by custom ranges.
Split PDF is built for one-document workflows where the next step needs several smaller files. You can export every page or define the exact ranges you need.
When the result contains multiple files, PDFre packages them into one ZIP so the download stays manageable.

Download the ZIP
PDFre creates separate PDF files and packages them in one ZIP.
Why it feels trustworthy
- The core processing flow runs locally in your browser.
- You can review files or pages before downloading the result.
- The page copy explains browser-only edge cases instead of hiding them.
Known limits
- Custom ranges must match the actual page count.
- Very large PDFs can take longer when they become many output files.
Common questions
Does split PDF create multiple downloads?
No. To keep the result manageable, PDFre packages multi-file output into a ZIP instead of starting many downloads one by one.
Can I split by ranges like 1-3 and 4-6?
Yes. Enter custom ranges and PDFre will create one PDF per range.
