The Split PDF tool divides a single PDF into multiple smaller files, either by page ranges or by extracting individual pages. It runs entirely in your browser, so even confidential documents stay on your device.
Splitting is useful when you need to share only part of a long report, extract a single signed page from a contract, or break a large scan into email-friendly chunks. Each output is a valid standalone PDF.
Split is the natural counterpart to merge and the fastest way to isolate exactly the pages someone needs without sending an entire document. A 200-page manual becomes a 3-page excerpt for a colleague; a signed contract yields a single signature page for your records; a large scan breaks into chunks that stay under email attachment limits.
Every output file is a complete, valid PDF in its own right — not a corrupt fragment — so recipients can open, print, and search each piece independently. Page rotation, embedded text, and links from the source pages carry over unchanged, because the tool copies the original page objects rather than re-rendering them.
Split uses pdf-lib to read the source PDF page tree and copy the requested page ranges into new PDF packages, one per range. When you enter a range such as 5-10, the tool iterates from the fifth to the tenth page object, copies each into a fresh document with its fonts and resources, and writes the result as a standalone PDF. Single-page extraction works the same way, producing one file per page.
Because the operation copies existing page objects without re-encoding, every output is lossless and visually identical to the same pages in the source. The tool runs entirely in the browser, so confidential contracts and personal records never leave your device. Processing speed scales with the number of pages you extract rather than the size of the source file, so pulling two pages from a thousand-page PDF is nearly instant.
Enter ranges separated by commas for multiple outputs, or a single range for one file. If the source PDF is encrypted, unlock it first so the page tree can be read. For the reverse operation — joining separate PDFs back together — use the Merge PDF tool, and for removing individual pages while keeping one file, use Organize & Delete PDF Pages.
