Split PDF

Splitting copies selected pages out of a PDF into new, smaller documents. The three modes cover the ways people actually need to divide a file: one PDF per page when a scanner produced a single giant file, custom ranges when you know the page numbers, and a hand-picked selection when only certain pages matter.

Like the merger, the splitter uses the pdf-lib library and copies pages losslessly. Text remains text, images keep their quality, and nothing about the extracted pages changes except which document they live in.

Everything runs locally in your browser, which matters for the files people most often split — bank statements, medical records, contracts and other documents you would not want to upload to a stranger’s server.

Input: one PDF file up to 100 MB.

Output: one or more PDF files — delivered individually or as a ZIP when there are several.

• Every page — one single-page PDF per page, packed as a ZIP.
• Custom ranges — entries like 1-3, 5, 8-10, each becoming its own PDF.
• Selected pages — any combination of pages combined into one new PDF.

• Extract one page — pull a single signed page or certificate out of a long document to send on its own.
• Split scanner output — a scanner that saved everything into one file becomes tidy single-page documents.
• Separate chapters or sections — ranges like 1-12, 13-40 turn one export into logical parts.
• Remove confidential pages — extract only the pages a recipient should see instead of forwarding the whole file.
• Share part of a report — hand-pick the relevant pages into one compact PDF.

• Password-protected PDFs cannot be opened — remove the protection first, then split.
• Pages are copied as they are: splitting cannot edit, rotate or redact content.
• Bookmarks and outlines from the original document may not carry over into the split files.
• Very large documents are processed in memory; desktop browsers handle the biggest files best.
