Split PDF
Extract page ranges or individual pages from any PDF. No upload needed.
100% in your browser — files never leave your device
When do you need to split a PDF?
PDFs accumulate pages over time — reports grow, forms get combined, presentations get merged. Splitting lets you extract exactly the pages you need without re-creating the document from scratch.
Common use cases: extracting a single chapter from a large report, separating invoices that were merged for archival, pulling the signature page from a contract, or distributing individual slides from a presentation exported as PDF.
Use custom ranges when you need specific sections (e.g. pages 1-5 and 12-18 as two separate files) or individual pages when you need every page as its own document. Multiple outputs are automatically packaged as a ZIP.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded when I split a PDF?
No. Splitting happens entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never transmitted to a server — the tool reads the file locally and processes it with JavaScript.
How do I specify page ranges?
Enter comma-separated ranges in the format "1-3, 5, 8-12". Each range becomes a separate PDF. If you specify a single range, you get one PDF; multiple ranges are packaged as a ZIP.
What does "Individual pages" mode do?
Individual pages mode extracts every page as its own PDF and packages them all into a single ZIP file for download. Useful when you need each page separately.
Is there a page count limit?
There is no enforced limit. The tool reads the full PDF in memory, so very large documents may be slow on low-memory devices, but no hard cap is imposed.
Will my split PDFs have the same quality as the original?
Yes. The tool uses pdf-lib to copy pages without re-encoding them, so there is no quality loss. Images, fonts, and vector content are preserved exactly as in the source.
