Split PDF
Split a PDF into separate files by page ranges, every N pages, or one file per page — entirely in your browser. Most PDF sites receive your file on their servers to process it; on RahaKit your document never leaves your computer, and nothing is uploaded to us.
The password is used only on your device to open the file. It is never stored and never sent anywhere.

Your split files
How to split a PDF
- Add your PDF: drag it into the box above, or click to browse and select it from your device.
- Check the page count the tool reads from your file — nothing is sent anywhere during this step.
- Choose how to split: custom page ranges, every N pages, or one PDF for every page.
- For custom ranges, type each group on one line, like 1-3, 5, 8-10. Each range becomes its own PDF.
- Review the line under the options: it tells you exactly how many PDF files will be created.
- Click Split PDF and wait for the stages to finish — the work happens in your browser, on your device.
- Download your files: a single PDF directly, or one ZIP when the split creates several files.
Why this splitter is different
Many online PDF tools ask you to upload a document to their servers before they can process it, which means a copy of your contract, tax form, ID scan or medical record sits on someone else's computer. This tool works the opposite way: your file is opened, split and saved entirely inside your browser, using your own device's processing power. The document itself is never uploaded to us, never stored, and never seen by anyone but you. You can check this yourself: open your browser's Network tab while you split a file and you will see no upload of your document.
Good to know before you split
Password-protected PDFs
If your PDF asks for a password, this tool asks for it too — and uses it only on your device to open the file, the same way a PDF reader on your computer would. The password is never stored and never sent anywhere, and the split happens locally exactly like an unprotected file.
Bookmarks, forms and signatures
Split files keep the pages themselves, sharp and complete. Some document-level extras may not carry into a rebuilt file: the bookmark outline, interactive form structure and attachments can be left behind, and a digital signature does not stay valid once pages are copied into a new document. Keep your original file when those matter.
Very large files and phones
Processing happens on your device, so the practical limit is your device's memory, not a limit we set. A very large or image-heavy PDF may be slow, or run out of memory, on a phone or an older computer. For a file like that, split it in smaller ranges or use a desktop browser.
Examples
| Document | Split | You get |
|---|---|---|
| 24-page report | Ranges 1-3, 5, 8-10 | 3 PDFs of 3, 1 and 3 pages |
| 24-page report | Every 6 pages | 4 PDFs of 6 pages each |
| 24-page report | Every page separately | 24 one-page PDFs in one ZIP |
Three mistakes people make when splitting a PDF
Expecting the bookmarks to survive
A split copies pages into brand-new files, and the original document's bookmark outline belongs to the old document, not to the pages. If you navigate a long manual by its bookmarks, keep the original file alongside the split parts.
Splitting a scan and expecting editable text
A scanned PDF is a set of page images. Splitting moves those pages exactly as they are, which is what you want for sharing one chapter — but the pages stay images, and no text becomes selectable or editable by splitting.
Closing the tab before downloading
Because nothing is uploaded or kept on a server, your split files exist only in the tab until you download them. Closing the tab first means running the split again — your original file is never changed either way.
Frequently asked questions
Is this Split PDF tool really free?
Yes. There is no daily task counter, no watermark and no account. The tool runs entirely in your browser, so there is no server cost to pass on to you.
Does my PDF get uploaded to your server?
No. Your file is read into your browser's memory and processed there, on your own device. Most other PDF sites receive your file on their servers to do the work; here nothing is uploaded at all. You can confirm it in your browser's Network tab while splitting: no request carries your document.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Yes. Enter the password when the tool asks: it is used only on your device to open the file, never stored and never sent anywhere. Without the password the file cannot be opened at all, here or in any other reader.
Will splitting reduce the quality of my PDF?
No. Splitting copies the existing pages into new files without re-encoding them, so text stays sharp and images keep their original resolution. Only document-level extras such as the bookmark outline may not carry over.
What is the difference between splitting by range and splitting every N pages?
Splitting by range lets you choose exactly which pages go into each output file — for example pages 1 to 3 in one file and pages 8 to 10 in another. Splitting every N pages breaks the document into equal chunks automatically, which suits long scans you want in fixed-size parts.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no limit we impose, because your file never comes to us. The practical limit is your device's memory, not the page count: a 2,000-page text PDF splits fine, while a very large scanned file may be easier on a desktop browser. The tool warns you before processing when a file looks too large for your device.
Privacy and important information
This tool runs entirely in your browser: your PDF, its name and its contents are never sent to a server, stored, or shared, and no file information is passed to analytics. Splitting copies pages as they are — it does not edit, convert or recognize text inside the pages.
