How to Split a PDF on Windows (Free, No Software)
Extract pages from a PDF on Windows 10 or 11 in Chrome or Edge — no Adobe Acrobat, no installation. Split by range, extract pages, or split into individual files.
Windows has no built-in PDF splitter — Edge can view PDFs but not split them. FixMyPDF's split tool runs in Chrome or Edge on Windows 10 and 11 with no software installation: specify your page ranges and download the split files in seconds.
Open the Split Tool in Chrome or Edge
Go to fixmypdf.in/tools/split in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox on your Windows PC. No software to install, no admin rights needed. The tool loads like any other website.
Upload Your PDF
Click "Select PDF" or drag a PDF from File Explorer directly onto the browser drop zone. The tool shows a thumbnail preview of all pages and the total page count — helpful for identifying exact page numbers before splitting.
Enter Your Page Ranges
Type your ranges in the input field using standard notation: "1-10" for pages 1 through 10, "5, 10, 15" for three individual pages, "1-5, 20-30" for two separate output files. This is the same notation used in Windows' Print dialog for printing specific pages.
Download as ZIP
Click "Split PDF" and all output files download as a ZIP archive to your Downloads folder. Right-click the ZIP in File Explorer and select "Extract All" to get the individual PDFs. Windows 11 can extract ZIPs natively without WinZip or 7-Zip.
Extracting a Single Section from a Large Report
A typical Windows use case: you have a 200-page company report and need to share only the executive summary (pages 1–15). Enter "1-15" in the range field — you get a clean 15-page PDF ready to email, with none of the confidential financial detail from the rest of the document.
Splitting PDFs from Microsoft Office on Windows
PDFs exported from Word, Excel, or PowerPoint via "Save as PDF" can be split exactly like any other PDF. This is useful when you export a large Word document and need to share individual chapters, or extract specific slides from a PowerPoint-exported PDF.
After Splitting on Windows
Once split, you can compress each section on Windows before emailing, or re-merge sections in a different order if you're reorganising the document. Both tools work in the same browser.
