A split PDF tool extracts a chosen page range from a PDF, or breaks it into one file per page, directly in your browser.
Your data is processed entirely in your browser and never sent to any server.
How to Use This Tool
- Upload a PDF; the tool reads it and shows the total page count.
- Choose a mode: extract a page range, or produce one file per page.
- For range mode, enter the first and last page you want to keep.
- Click Split PDF, then download the single result or each per-page file.
What Is a Split PDF?
Splitting a PDF is the inverse of merging: you take one document and pull out part of it. Common reasons include extracting a single signed page from a long contract, separating chapters of a scanned book, or isolating the few pages a colleague actually needs. Because the PDF specification (ISO 32000) treats each page as a self-contained object, a page can be lifted into a new document byte-for-byte.
This tool offers two modes. Range mode copies a contiguous span of pages — say pages 3 through 7 — into a single new PDF. Per-page mode bursts the document so every page becomes its own one-page file. Since in-browser ZIP packaging is not used here, the per-page mode presents a separate download link for each resulting file, letting you grab only the pages you want.
All processing happens with pdf-lib in your browser. The source file is parsed locally and the extracted pages keep their original text, fonts and image resolution. Nothing is uploaded, so even sensitive documents stay on your device.
