How to Split a PDF Online for Free
Upload your PDF to Papyrio, and Ghostscript splits every page into a separate file within seconds. Download the ZIP, unzip it, and you have an individual PDF for each page. No Adobe Acrobat, no desktop software, no account.
Extract a Single Page from a PDF
Papyrio splits the entire document at once. Upload your PDF, download the ZIP, then open it and keep only the page you need. Delete the rest. It takes about 30 seconds total and works on any device.
Split PDF into Custom Page Ranges
This tool splits every page individually. To get a range, say pages 3 to 7 as one file, split the PDF here, then upload the pages you want to our Merge PDF tool and combine them into a new document.
Merge pages into a custom range →Why Split a PDF?
Common reasons: sharing a single chapter from a report, extracting a receipt page from a multi-page statement, reducing email attachment size by sending only relevant pages, or archiving pages individually. Splitting is faster than redoing the original document.
Split PDF on iPhone or Android
Open papyrio.net in your mobile browser, tap the upload area, and choose your PDF from Files or Google Drive. The split runs on our server, not your phone. Download the ZIP directly to your device when it's ready.
What to Do After Splitting
Once you have individual page PDFs, common next steps include merging a subset into a new document, compressing a large page before emailing it, or converting a page to JPG for use in a presentation. All three tools are free on Papyrio.

Frequently asked questions
What do I get after splitting?
A ZIP archive with one PDF per page. A 5-page PDF produces 5 individual files named page-1.pdf, page-2.pdf, and so on.
Can I extract just one page from a PDF?
Papyrio splits all pages into separate files. Download the ZIP, open it, and keep only the page you need.
Can I split a PDF into ranges, like pages 1-3 and 4-10?
Not directly in this tool. Split all pages first, then use Merge PDF to recombine the pages you want into a new document.
How do I extract a single page from a PDF without Adobe?
Upload here, split all pages, download the ZIP, and pull out the page file you need. No Adobe, no desktop software.
Do I need to sign up?
No account required. Guests get one split per day; free accounts get 10.
Is there a file size limit?
50 MB per file.
Does it work on mobile?
Works in any browser. Upload from your phone, download the ZIP, and open individual pages from there.
Is my file safe?
Your PDF is processed in memory and all files are deleted the moment the ZIP is returned.
