What would you like to do next?
Split a PDF into separate pages
Choose one PDF and create a separate PDF file for every page. Individual download buttons make it easy to save one page or a selected set without sending the original document to a server.
Use individual pages independently
Splitting works well for scanned forms, certificates, worksheets, invoices and packets that need to be distributed as separate files. The browser limit is 100 pages per operation.
What happens when a PDF is split
The file is read in your browser and each source page is copied into a new one-page PDF for download.
Process
Kitset loads the PDF into browser memory, creates a new PDF for each page, copies that page, and saves each result locally.
Worked example
A 12-page PDF produces 12 downloads named from the original file plus page-1 through page-12.
Limits
- Split supports PDFs up to 100 MB and up to 100 pages in one run.

Frequently asked questions
Does this create one file per page?
Yes. Each original page gets its own downloadable PDF.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
No. Remove the password with an authorized desktop application first.
Why is there a 100-page limit?
Creating many files at once uses significant browser memory, so the limit keeps the page responsive.
