PDF Splitter — Split & Extract PDF Pages Online
Split a PDF into separate files by page range, chunk size, or single pages. Everything runs in your browser.
Drop a PDF here, or choose a file
Break a PDF into smaller files without uploading it anywhere. Pick custom ranges like 1-3, 5, 7-9, split every N pages into evenly sized chunks, or extract each page as its own PDF. Multiple outputs arrive as a single zip. The source file and every split piece stay on your device.
Splitting a PDF is one of those tasks that sounds trivial until you need it at the wrong moment. You have a 40-page scan but only need pages 3 to 7. A contract has three separate sections that each belong in a different folder. A bank statement covers the whole year but you only want Q1 for your accountant. Most online splitters handle this by asking you to upload the file to their servers, which is the worst possible choice for anything containing financial, medical, or contractual information.
This splitter runs entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. Drop in a PDF, the tool reads the page count, then you choose one of three modes. Ranges let you specify exact selections with a syntax like 1-3, 5, 7-9 where each group becomes its own PDF. Every N pages produces evenly sized chunks, useful for breaking a large scan into smaller email-friendly pieces. Extract each page creates one file per page, which is handy when you need to submit individual pages to different forms.
When the result is one file you download it directly. When there are multiple, they are bundled into a zip so you get everything in a single click. Nothing is uploaded and the original PDF is never modified.

Sharing a single section
Pull chapter 2 out of a long report and send just those pages instead of the whole document.
Splitting scanned batches
Break a 60-page scan into ten six-page files for easier review, filing, or email attachment limits.
Extracting form pages
Separate a multi-form PDF into individual pages so each one can be filled and submitted independently.
Archiving statements
Take a yearly bank statement and cut it into monthly PDFs for folder-based bookkeeping.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The file is read and split entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. Nothing leaves your device, which matters for contracts, statements, or medical records.
How do I write page ranges?
Use commas between groups and hyphens within a range. For example, 1-3, 5, 7-9 produces three PDFs: pages 1 to 3, page 5 on its own, and pages 7 to 9.
What happens if I split into many files?
When the split produces more than one file, everything is bundled into a zip archive so you can download all of it in one click. A single-file split downloads the PDF directly.
Can it handle password-protected PDFs?
No. Encrypted PDFs need to be unlocked in a reader like Acrobat or Preview first, then saved as an unprotected copy before splitting here.
Is there a page limit?
There is no hard cap. Very large PDFs (hundreds of pages or hundreds of megabytes) may take a few seconds to process because everything runs in your browser on your own CPU and memory.
