Why use Split PDF
Three ways to split
Extract a selection, one file per range, or one file per page.
Simple page ranges
Use commas and dashes. "8-" means page 8 to the end.
Original stays untouched
You get new files. The PDF on your device is never changed.
ZIP download
When a split creates many files, download them together in one ZIP.
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.
