What is PDF Splitter?
The PDF Splitter divides a PDF into multiple files. You can extract individual pages, page ranges, or a combination of both. Each split produces a standalone PDF that preserves the original formatting and quality. The tool runs in the browser, so your file never leaves your device.
How does PDF Splitter work?
This tool uses pdf-lib to extract pages from a PDF and save them as separate files. You specify which pages to extract by entering individual page numbers, ranges (e.g., 3-7), or a mix of both. The tool creates one output PDF per split operation. It also supports password-protected PDFs after you provide the password.

Common Use Cases
Extracting a single chapter
Pull pages 15 through 30 from a long PDF to share just one chapter with a colleague without sending the entire document.
Separating bundled invoices
When a scanner combines multiple invoices into one PDF, split them into individual files for filing and accounting.
Isolating specific pages for review
Extract only the pages that need revisions from a large report so the reviewer does not have to search through the whole document.
Breaking up legal document packages
Separate contracts, exhibits, and appendices into standalone PDFs for different recipients or filing requirements.

Pro Tips

Use ranges for contiguous sections (e.g., 1-10) and comma-separated numbers for scattered pages.
- 2
Preview pages before splitting to confirm you are extracting the right content.
- 3
Keep the original PDF as a backup in case you need to re-split with different ranges.
- 4
If you only need one page, enter just that page number rather than splitting the whole file.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I split password-protected PDFs?
Yes, enter the password when prompted. The split files can retain the same protection or be saved without passwords.
Does splitting affect PDF quality?
No. The tool extracts pages as-is without recompression. Fonts, images, and formatting remain identical to the original.
Can I extract non-consecutive pages?
Yes. Enter comma-separated page numbers like 1, 5, 8, 12 to extract specific non-consecutive pages into one file or separate files. You can also mix ranges and individual numbers, such as 1, 3-7, 12.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no hard limit. Very large PDFs may take longer to process, but the tool handles standard documents without issues.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens in your browser using JavaScript. The file never leaves your device.
