How to Split a PDF Online for Free

Sometimes you don't need the whole PDF — just page 3, or the last two pages of a signed contract. Splitting a PDF shouldn't require installing desktop software for a thirty-second task. Here's how to do it in your browser instead.

Split a PDF in your browser

1. Open the PDF split tool. No account or sign-up required.
2. Upload your PDF. The tool renders a thumbnail of every page so you can see exactly what you're working with.
3. Select the pages you want. Click individual pages, or select a range.
4. Extract and download. The selected pages download as a new PDF, separate from the original.

Like the rest of SignFastAi's free PDF tools, this runs locally in your browser — your document is never uploaded to a server.

Common reasons to split a PDF

• Pulling one exhibit or page out of a larger contract to send or reference on its own.
• Separating a scanned batch — for example, a stack of signed forms scanned as one file that need to become individual documents.
• Removing a cover page or blank page before sending a document out for signature.

What if I need to go the other way?

If you're combining pages instead of separating them, use the PDF merge tool — same idea, in reverse.

Common questions

Is there a file size or page limit? The tool handles typical contracts and multi-page scans (up to 50MB) without issue.

Does splitting affect the quality or formatting of the pages? No — each extracted page keeps its original formatting exactly.

Can I select a non-continuous set of pages, like 1, 3, and 5? Yes, you can select any combination of individual pages, not just a continuous range.

Do I need to create an account? No — like all of SignFastAi's free tools, there's no sign-up required to use it.
