Why split a PDF?
PDFs are often created as single monolithic files — a complete report, a contract with attachments, a scanned book. But the recipient may only need a specific section, and the full document may be too large to email or share efficiently.
Splitting lets you carve out exactly what you need: the signed page of a contract, a specific chapter of a report, or just the invoice from a bundle of receipts.
Common use cases
- Extracting a signed page. Pull just the signature page from a contract to attach to an email without sending the full document.
- Splitting a scanned book. Divide a 300-page scan into chapters for easier reading or distribution.
- Isolating individual invoices. When your accounting software generates one PDF for 12 months of invoices, split them into separate files for each month.
- Reducing file size for sending. If a PDF is too large to email, extract only the relevant section and send that instead.
- Separating appendices. Pull supporting annexes from a main report so each can be stored and referenced independently.
How it works
Once you drop your PDF, the tool reads the page count using pdf-lib directly in your browser. You then choose which pages to extract — either by clicking individual page tiles or typing a range like 1-5, 8, 12-15. pdf-lib copies the selected page objects into a new PDF without re-rendering anything — meaning text, images, and fonts are bit-for-bit identical to the originals. The output downloads directly from your browser tab. No server contact happens at any point.
Frequently asked questions
Can I extract just a few pages from a large PDF?
Yes. Use the Select Pages mode — click any page numbers you want to keep and click Extract. The result is a new PDF containing only your selected pages.
Can I split a PDF into multiple separate files?
Yes. Use Split by Range mode and enter comma-separated ranges, e.g. "1-5, 6-10, 11-20". Each range becomes its own PDF. If you create more than one part, they are also bundled as a ZIP for easy download.
Does splitting affect the PDF quality?
No. Pages are copied directly from the source PDF using pdf-lib without any re-rendering. Text stays selectable, images keep their original quality, and fonts are preserved exactly.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser using pdf-lib. Your file never leaves your device — we never see it.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
The tool attempts to open encrypted PDFs but cannot process files locked with a password. Remove the password first using another tool, then split.
