What this tool does
PDF Splitter takes one PDF and makes new PDFs from its pages. Extract only the pages you need into a new file, split by ranges such as 1-3 and 4-10, save every page as its own PDF, or cut the document into equal parts.
Pages are copied exactly as they are, so text, images and links look the same as in the original. Your file is processed on your own device and is not uploaded.
Who it helps
- Students sending only the pages of a scanned book or certificate that a form asks for.
- Teachers and school offices separating a scanned stack of worksheets or report cards into one file per student.
- Office workers taking one invoice or signed page out of a long PDF.
How to use it
- Add your PDF. Drop it on the box or choose it. A preview of every page appears.
- Choose how to split. Click pages to pick them, or type pages and ranges such as 1-3, 5.
- Split and download. Download each new PDF, or all of them together as a ZIP file.

Frequently asked questions
How do I take just one page out of a PDF?
Choose Extract pages, then click that page in the preview (or type its number). Select Split PDF and download the new one-page PDF.
Can I change the page order?
Yes, in Extract pages mode. Type the pages in the order you want, for example 3, 1, 2, and the new PDF will follow that order.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied exactly. Each new file only contains the pages you chose, though shared fonts and images may still be included in every file.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Your browser splits the file on your own device. Nothing is sent to Freetol or stored anywhere.
Why won’t my PDF open?
It may be password-protected or damaged. For a protected file, open it with your password in a PDF reader and save an unprotected copy first.
