How to Split a PDF
Drop a PDF into the upload area and the page lists what it found: the page count, then the split options. Choose a single range such as 1-3 or 7, or split the document into equal chunks of a given size, and each part is produced in your browser from the file you selected - the document itself is never sent to a server. That is the difference from the hosted splitters, where a tax return or a signed contract travels through someone else's infrastructure before the split happens.
If the split is not what you wanted, the other PDF tools here cover the rest of the job: the PDF page numberer stamps pages, the PDF to image converter turns pages into PNG or JPG files, the PDF text extractor pulls the words out, and the PDF compressor shrinks the file size for emailing.
Problem: Most PDF Splitters Upload Your Documents
When you split a PDF online, your tax returns, contracts, and personal documents are typically uploaded to a remote server. Your private files pass through unknown infrastructure.
How We Solve This
- Zero Upload: Your PDF never leaves your device. All processing happens in your browser
- Three Split Modes: Extract every page, specific ranges, or fixed chunks
- Page Range Format: Use simple syntax like "1-3, 5, 7-10" to select exactly which pages you want
- Batch Download: Download all split files at once or individually
- No File Size Limit: Split files up to 100 MB or more
Why AI Cannot Replace This Tool
AI chatbots can describe how to split a PDF, but they cannot actually split your file. PDF manipulation requires reading binary file structures, copying page trees, and generating valid PDF output. This tool performs all operations precisely on your device.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my PDF uploaded to any server?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using the pdf-lib library. Your file never leaves your device.
What is page range syntax?
Use commas to separate pages or ranges: "1-3" extracts pages 1 through 3, "5" extracts page 5, "1-3, 5, 7-10" extracts all those pages into one PDF.
Is there a file size limit?
The tool works entirely in your browser. Very large PDFs (100+ MB) may be slower but will still work.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied without re-encoding. The content quality remains exactly the same as the original.
