How it works

How to split a PDF

Three steps, a few seconds, zero uploads.

Open your PDF
Drop the file onto the page or pick it from your device. You immediately see every page as a thumbnail.
2

Download
Click “Split PDF”. Download each file on its own or all of them as one ZIP.

Why ToolCMB

A PDF splitter that shows you what you get

All the ways to split a PDF — visual, precise and completely private.

Private by design

The PDF is processed by your own browser. It is never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone.

Visual cutting

Every page is shown as a thumbnail. Click the scissors between two pages to cut there.

Extract or delete pages

Pick pages with a click (Shift-click for ranges), select odd or even pages in one go.

Split by chapters

Use the document’s bookmarks to create one file per chapter, named after its title.

Split by file size

Get parts that fit email or portal limits such as 25 MB, 10 MB or 2 MB.

Double pages in half

Turn scanned book spreads into single pages — with right-to-left order for manga and Arabic.

Lossless quality

Pages are copied, not re-rendered: text stays sharp and searchable, images untouched.

ZIP download

Download all parts at once as a ZIP or each file on its own, with clear file names.

Splitting PDFs: what you should know

Most online PDF splitters upload your document to a server, cut it there and send the pieces back. ToolCMB works differently: the splitting engine runs inside your browser, so bank statements, contracts or medical records never leave your device — and even large files are split in seconds.

Pages are copied exactly as they are, so each part looks identical to the original and its text remains searchable. Each output contains only the fonts and images its pages need, so the parts are as small as possible. Bookmarks, internal links and form fields that belong to the pages of a part are kept.

Need a single page as its own PDF? Choose Every N pages with 1. Want to remove a few pages? Choose Extract / delete pages, click the pages and switch to “Deleted”. Need parts under an upload limit? By file size measures the real size of every part.

Parts still too big? Run them through our PDF Compressor.
Need to put pages together again? Use the PDF Merger.
