Split PDF
Split PDF reads one PDF locally and creates downloads for every page or for custom ranges such as 1-3, 5, 8-10. The file is processed in your browser with pdf-lib and is never uploaded.
How to use
- Choose one PDF and load its total page count.
- Select either one PDF per page or custom page ranges.
- Use range syntax such as 1-3, 5, 8-10 for custom output.
- Run Split PDF and download each generated file.
Use cases
- Split a full report into one-page PDFs.
- Export only pages 1-3 and the signature page from a contract.
- Divide class material into chapter files for students.
- Extract pages without sending the original document to a service.
Privacy & local processing
All PDFs are processed locally in your browser. Files never leave the browser and are never uploaded to this site or a third-party server.
FAQ
- Are PDFs uploaded when splitting?
- No. The PDF is read and split inside your browser. It never leaves the browser.
- How do I write page ranges?
- Use a format like 1-3, 5, 8-10. Page numbers start at 1, and endpoints outside the document are clamped to valid pages.
- How many files does a custom range create?
- Each comma-separated range creates one PDF. If you enter one range, the tool creates one output file.
- Can this split encrypted PDFs?
- Browser-only tools usually cannot process password-protected or restricted PDFs. Use an unlocked PDF.
