Quick answer
To split a PDF, drop your file above and choose how you want it divided. Enter a first and last page to pull a range — for example pages 2 to 5 — into a single new PDF, or click split into single pages to save every page as its own file. Everything runs in your browser, so your document stays private and works even offline once the page has loaded.
When splitting a PDF helps
A single PDF often holds far more than you need to share. A scanned bundle might contain one contract, one invoice and three receipts; a report might have a confidential appendix you'd rather keep back. Splitting lets you send just the pages that matter instead of the whole file — cleaner for the recipient and safer for you. Because this tool copies pages exactly as they are, the extracted PDF is identical to the original in quality and layout.
Extract a range or split every page
There are two common jobs, and this tool covers both. Use extract a page range when you want a continuous slice — chapters 3 to 4, or the middle of a scanned stack — bundled into one new document. Use split into single pages when you need each page on its own, such as separating individually signed forms or breaking a merged batch back into its parts. The single-page option downloads one file per page, so a ten-page PDF hands you ten neat one-page PDFs.
Private by design
PDFs frequently carry sensitive information — bank statements, medical records, agreements. Uploading them to an online splitter means trusting a server with those documents. This tool avoids that entirely. Using the pdf-lib library running in your browser, pages are read and copied locally on your own machine. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and the split works even offline once the page has loaded.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?+
No. Splitting happens entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Your PDF never leaves your device — nothing is uploaded, stored or shared, which keeps sensitive documents private.
What is the difference between extracting a range and splitting every page?+
Extracting a range pulls a run of pages — say pages 2 to 5 — into a single new PDF. Splitting every page saves each page as its own one-page PDF, so a 10-page file becomes 10 separate downloads.
Why do I get a prompt to allow multiple downloads?+
When you split every page, the tool downloads one file per page in quick succession. Browsers sometimes ask permission before downloading several files from one page — choose Allow to receive them all.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?+
The tool tries to read encrypted PDFs where possible, but files with strong protection may fail to load. If a file can't be read, remove the password first and try again.
Will the extracted pages lose any quality?+
No. Pages are copied as-is into the new document, so text, images and formatting stay exactly the same. Nothing is re-rendered, re-compressed or downgraded.
