About this tool
Sending a whole 40-page document when the other person needs two pages wastes their time and can expose information they should not see. Splitting lets you share only what is needed.
The split happens locally with pdf-lib. Pages are copied without re-compression, so text stays crisp and searchable.
Frequently asked questions
How do I write page ranges?
Separate pages and ranges with commas: 1-3, 5, 9-12. Add a dash with no end, such as 8-, to include everything from page 8 to the last page.
What is the difference between the modes?
"Extract pages" puts all selected pages into one new PDF. "Split by ranges" makes one file per range you type. "Every page" makes one file per page.
Will this change my original PDF?
No. The tool creates new files for you to download and never edits the original.
Is my document uploaded?
No. The PDF is opened and split by your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
Can I split a scanned PDF?
Yes. Scanned pages are split like any other page. To pull the text out of a scan, convert the page to JPG and use Image to Text.
Can I split a PDF into multiple files for free?
Yes. "Split by ranges" makes one PDF for each range you type, and "Every page" saves each page as an individual PDF, downloaded together as a ZIP. It is free, works online in any browser and nothing is uploaded.
