Split PDF
Cut a PDF into separate files at the pages you choose. It all happens on your device, so nothing is uploaded. A split counts as one file on your account.
Pull out one chapter, send just the pages someone needs, or break a big scan into parts that fit an upload limit.
Nothing is uploaded
Your files open in your browser and everything happens there, on your device. Filebender never receives them: you still need your account, and it counts the PDF you make as one of your files, by its type and size.
See every page
Each page is shown as a picture, so you can check the order, turn pages the right way up and spot the ones to take out before you save.
Nothing recompressed
Pages are copied exactly as they are, so text stays sharp and searchable and pictures keep their quality. No plan has ads, and nothing is stamped on your pages.
How to split a PDF
- Create a free account with Google or your email address, or sign in.
- Choose a PDF, or drop it on the box.
- Click between two pages to cut there, or type the pages you want, like 1-3, 5, 8-12.
- Press “Split PDF” and download the parts, one at a time or together in a ZIP.
Two ways to choose the parts
Click the scissors between two pages to cut there, and each stretch between cuts becomes its own PDF. Or type the pages you want, such as 1-3, 5, 8-12, and each range becomes a PDF; 8- means from page 8 to the end.
Every page on its own
One PDF per page makes a file of every page in one go, which suits a batch of scanned letters or invoices saved as one PDF. Clear starts again, and pages can be turned a quarter turn before splitting.
What you get
Parts are named after the original with their pages, such as report-pages-1-3-Filebender.pdf and report-page-5-Filebender.pdf. Two or more download together in one ZIP, or one at a time.
The PDF is read and cut in your browser, without being uploaded. You need to be signed in to your account, and a split counts as one file however many parts it makes.

Questions
Can I split a PDF by file size?
Not directly: parts are chosen by page. To fit an upload limit, split into a few ranges, check the sizes, and shrink any part that's still too big with the PDF Compressor.
Can pages that aren't next to each other go in one PDF?
Each range becomes its own PDF, so 1-3, 7 gives two files. To put pages 1 to 3 and 7 in one PDF, take the other pages out with Delete PDF pages instead.
Are the parts smaller than the original?
Usually, since each holds fewer pages. Pictures and fonts that several pages share are copied into each part that uses them, so the parts together can add up to more than the original.
Are my PDFs uploaded?
No. Your PDFs open in your browser and everything happens there, on your device, so they never leave it. You still need your account: Filebender counts the PDF you make as one file, by its type and size, never its name or what's in it. The one exception is a damaged PDF your browser can't open: Filebender can repair it on its servers, but only if you say yes, and it's deleted an hour after it's repaired.
Does it use up my allowance?
Each merge, split or reorganised PDF counts as one file, however many pages or PDFs go into it or come out of it, so a split into ten PDFs is still one file. If something goes wrong and nothing is made, it doesn't count.
Can I use a password-protected PDF?
Not one that needs a password to open: open it with its password in a PDF reader, save a copy without one, and add that copy. A PDF that opens without a password but limits printing or editing works, as long as you're allowed to change it.
Is anything lost?
The pages are copied as they are, so text stays sharp and searchable and pictures keep their quality. Bookmarks aren't carried over, and form fields may stop being fillable.
Why do I need an account?
Every plan needs an account, including the free plan. Your daily allowance and any pass you buy are kept with your account, and accounts keep automated abuse out. Making one costs nothing, with Google or your email address, and you can start converting as soon as it's ready.
