Guide
How to split a PDF
Use this PDF splitter to pull a few pages out of a long document, break a report into single pages, or divide a large file into evenly sized parts. Page previews let you confirm exactly what you are extracting before you commit, and everything runs locally with pdf.js and pdf-lib.
- 1
Add your PDF
Drop a single PDF onto the tool. Page thumbnails are rendered so you can see what you are working with.
- 2
Choose a split method
Every page creates one file per page. Page ranges extracts only the pages you list. Fixed chunks divides the document into equal groups.
- 3
Enter your pages
For ranges, type values such as 1-3, 5, 8-10. Selected pages are highlighted in the preview so you can check the selection before splitting.

Split and download
A single result downloads as a PDF. Multiple results are packaged into one ZIP archive so you get everything in one click.
Split problems this tool solves
- You need only three pages from a hundred-page report and do not want to send the whole thing.
- A file is too large to email and has to be broken into smaller parts.
- A scanned batch contains several separate documents that need to become individual files.
- You want one page extracted as its own PDF without re-printing or re-scanning it.
- Other splitters make you guess page numbers because they show no preview of the document.
Frequently asked questions
How do I extract specific pages from a PDF?
Choose the page ranges method and type the pages you want, such as 1-3, 5, 8-10. Those pages are highlighted in the preview and saved together into one new PDF.
Can I split a PDF into single pages?
Yes. Choose the every page method and each page becomes its own PDF. All of them are delivered together in a single ZIP file.
Is my document uploaded anywhere?
No. Pages are rendered with pdf.js and extracted with pdf-lib, both running inside your browser. The document never leaves your device.
Why can I only see previews for the first 60 pages?
Rendering thumbnails for a very long document would use a lot of memory, so previews stop at 60 pages. Splitting still works across every page in the file.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied into the new documents without re-encoding, so text remains selectable and images keep their original resolution.
