Private by design: your files are processed on this device and never uploaded. Want proof? Once the page has loaded, turn off your Wi-Fi and the tool keeps working.

How to Split a PDF

Upload your PDF and choose how to split it. You can extract specific page ranges (like pages 1-3 and 5-7) or split every page into a separate file. Each range becomes its own downloadable PDF.

Split Modes

  • By Range: Specify comma-separated page ranges like "1-3, 5, 7-10". Each range produces a separate PDF file.
  • Every Page: Splits the PDF into individual single-page files. Useful for extracting specific pages to share or reorganize.

How It Works

This tool uses pdf-lib to read your PDF and copy selected pages into new documents. The original page content, formatting, and embedded resources are preserved exactly. Processing happens entirely in your browser — no server upload required.

Frequently asked questions

How do I specify page ranges?
Use comma-separated values. Single pages: "1, 3, 5". Ranges: "1-3, 7-10". Mixed: "1-3, 5, 8-12". Each comma-separated entry creates a separate output PDF.
Does splitting reduce PDF quality?
No. Pages are copied from the original PDF without re-encoding. The output quality is identical to the source file.
Can I split a large PDF with many pages?
Yes. The tool can handle PDFs with hundreds of pages. Very large files (50+ MB) may take a few seconds to process depending on your device.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything is processed locally in your browser. Your PDF never leaves your device.
