PDF Splitter

How to use

1. Choose a PDF - its page count appears immediately.
2. Enter pages like 1-3,5,8-10, or "all" for one file per page.
3. Click Split - each range downloads as its own PDF.

Use cases

1. Use case: Share only relevant pages Extract the signed page or the summary section of a large contract before emailing it.

2. Use case: Reuse parts of a manual Split one long PDF into per-chapter files so colleagues can review only their section.

Practical tips

Page numbers are 1-based and refer to the document's own numbering, not your PDF reader's thumbnail scroll. Extract a contiguous range for one output, or split ranges separately if you need multiple documents from one source — decide before splitting, since re-merging is a second operation. Like every tool here, splitting happens locally: the document never leaves your device, which matters for contracts and ID documents. Like every tool on this site, the Pdf Split runs entirely in your browser: the data you enter never leaves your device, nothing is uploaded to a server, and the tool keeps working if your connection drops.

Common mistakes

Splitting is simple; planning the output is where mistakes happen:

• Using the reader's thumbnail scroll position as the page number — page numbers are 1-based on the document's own numbering.
• Splitting before deciding the output structure, then needing a second operation to re-merge; plan the ranges first.
• Attempting to split a password-protected file without unlocking it first.
• Assuming an upload limit applies: processing is local, so the real limit is your device's memory, not a server cap.

Why use this tool

Browser splitting is the right call when:

• Confidential pages must stay on your machine — nothing uploads, ever.
• You need one or a few ranges quickly, without learning a desktop tool.
• You are on a machine with no PDF software installed.
• You want to verify page numbers against the document before cutting.
