How to Split a PDF Into Separate Pages

Sometimes you need just one page from a long document — a signature page, a single invoice, one slide from a deck. Other times you want to break a whole PDF into individual one-page files. Both are the job of a splitting tool, and both are fast when the work happens in your browser.

ThothBox's Split PDF tool lets you cut a PDF into separate pages or extract a custom range, all locally on your device. There is no upload, no signup, and no watermark on the output.

Separate pages or a page range?

Splitting into separate pages creates one new PDF for every page in the original — ideal for scanning workflows, per-page archives, or sending a single sheet to someone. If you only need a slice in the middle, extract a range instead and get one clean PDF of just those pages, without the unwanted ones around it.

Decide what you're after first. Splitting everything is great for breaking a bundle into pieces, while a range extraction is the better choice when you want a trimmed single document.
