How to Split PDF Online Free — No Sign Up

February 2026· 5 min read· By PDFcraft

Splitting a PDF lets you extract specific pages, separate chapters, or divide a large document into smaller parts. PDFcraft splits any PDF for free with no sign up and no watermarks — right in your browser.

Why split a PDF?

01

Share only relevant pages

Extract the specific pages a client needs instead of sending a 100-page document.

02

Separate chapters or sections

Divide a large document into individual chapters, each as its own PDF.

03

Reduce file size for sending

Split a large PDF into smaller parts that fit within email attachment limits.

04

Remove confidential pages

Extract only the non-sensitive pages into a new document before sharing.

05

Reorganize documents

Split and then re-merge in a different order using PDFcraft's Merge PDF tool.

Split options explained

01

Extract a page range

Extract pages 3-8 into a new PDF. The original is unchanged.

02

Extract specific pages

Enter individual page numbers separated by commas — like 1, 4, 7 — to extract non-consecutive pages.

03

Split into equal parts

Divide a 20-page PDF into four 5-page files, for example.

04

Split every page

Create a separate PDF for every single page in the document.

Split then merge for full control

The most powerful workflow is split then merge. Split a PDF into sections, rearrange or modify the sections, then merge them back together using PDFcraft's Merge PDF tool. This gives you complete control over document structure.

💡 Pro tip

After splitting a large document, use PDFcraft's Compress PDF tool on each part to keep the file sizes small before sending.
