The four steps
- 1Open the splitter. Go to PDFGami's PDF splitter in any modern browser. No account, no install.
- 2Drop the source PDF. Drag the file into the tool. It is parsed in your browser via pdf-lib — no upload happens. You can verify this yourself in the browser developer tools network tab.
- 3Define your ranges. Add one or more page ranges. Examples:
1-50, 51-100— split a 100-page PDF into two halves.1-10, 11-20, 21-30— split into chapter-sized pieces.5, 8, 12— extract three specific pages as their own files.
- 4Click Split and download. The resulting PDFs are bundled into a ZIP archive that downloads to your device. No watermark, no signup, no waiting in an upload queue.
Common patterns
Add two ranges that together cover the whole document. Useful when you want to send the first half of a long PDF separately.
Use the “Extract All” option. Every page becomes its own PDF, bundled in a ZIP for one-click download.
Add a one-page range for each page you want — for example, pull only pages 7, 12, and 24 from a long contract.
Use the combined merger and splitter if you want to split a PDF and then merge selected parts into a new document in one workflow.
Privacy note: the PDF splitter on PDFGami never uploads your file. The merge, compress, and sign tools work the same way. For confidential documents (contracts, medical records, financial files) this is the only way to be sure no copy is left on a third-party server.
Frequently asked questions
How do I split a PDF into multiple files for free?
Open a browser-based PDF splitter such as PDFGami's, drop your PDF, define one or more page ranges (e.g. 1-5, 10, 12-20), and click Split. Each range becomes its own PDF. The whole thing runs in your browser — no upload, no signup, no watermark.
How do I split a large PDF into two PDFs?
In the splitter tool, define two ranges that cover the document — for example, "1-50" and "51-100" to split a 100-page PDF in half. Click Split and you get two PDFs in a ZIP archive. No file size limit because everything runs in your browser.
Can I split a PDF by every page (burst it into individual files)?
Yes. Use the "Extract All" option (or add a one-page range for each page). The tool generates one PDF per page, bundled as a ZIP for one-click download.
How do I split a PDF into multiple files online without uploading it?
Use a client-side PDF splitter. PDFGami's splitter uses pdf-lib via WebAssembly to parse and split the PDF directly in your browser — you can verify the absence of upload requests in the browser developer tools network tab.
Is splitting a PDF the same as cutting a PDF?
Yes — different users use different words for the same operation. Whether you search "split PDF", "cut PDF", "divide PDF", or "separate PDF pages", you are looking for the same tool.
