Extract Specific Page Ranges
Enter a range like "1-5" or individual pages like "2, 5, 8" to extract exactly what you need. Perfect for pulling out a specific chapter, a signature block, or a single attachment page.
Split Into Individual Pages
Split every single page of your PDF into its own file with one click. Useful for processing scanned documents page by page or sharing individual slides from a presentation.
Preview Pages First
See thumbnail previews of your PDF pages before extracting. This way you can confirm you're grabbing the right pages — especially helpful for long documents.
Instant Processing
Splitting happens directly in your browser using the pdf-lib JavaScript library. There is no upload round-trip, so your results are ready in milliseconds — even for large files.
100% Private — Nothing Is Uploaded
Your PDF file is processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No data is ever sent to our servers. No account, no signup, no data retention. What you split stays with you.
Download as ZIP or Single PDF
When splitting into multiple pages, all extracted pages are packaged into a convenient ZIP file for easy download. Single-page extractions download as a clean standalone PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extract just one page from a PDF?↓
Yes! Simply enter the page number (e.g., "5") into the page range field and hit Split PDF. You'll get a new single-page PDF containing exactly that page.
What page range format should I use?↓
You can use ranges like "1-5" to extract pages 1 through 5, individual pages like "2, 4, 7" separated by commas, or a mix like "1-3, 6, 9-11". We'll extract exactly those pages in order.
Does splitting reduce the quality of my PDF?↓
No. The tool directly copies pages from the source PDF without re-rendering or re-compressing them. Text, images, and formatting are preserved at their original quality.
Are my files sent to your servers?↓
Absolutely not. Everything happens inside your browser tab. Your PDF bytes are loaded into browser memory, split using the pdf-lib JavaScript library, and the resulting files are generated locally. Nothing ever touches our servers.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?↓
Password-protected PDFs cannot be processed directly. You'll need to remove the password first using Adobe Acrobat or a similar tool, then use our splitter on the unlocked file.
Is there a limit on file size or number of pages?↓
There is no hard limit from our side. The practical limit is determined by your device's memory. Very large PDFs (hundreds of pages with high-res images) may be slower on older devices, but the tool will still work.
