Three ways to split a PDF
Extract specific pages
Enter page numbers like "1, 3, 5-8, 12" to pull out only the pages you need into a new PDF. Perfect for extracting a specific chapter, a few invoices from a batch, or key pages from a long report.
Split by range
Divide a document at specific page boundaries. A 20-page PDF split at pages 5 and 12 creates three separate files: pages 1-5, pages 6-12, and pages 13-20. Useful for breaking a combined document back into its parts.
Split into equal parts
Automatically divide a PDF into chunks of N pages each. A 30-page document split into chunks of 10 creates three equal files. Great for distributing sections of a manual or textbook to different people.
When splitting a PDF saves you time
Government portals and application forms often have strict file size limits (500 KB – 2 MB). A scanned document at 10 MB won't upload. Instead of compressing and losing quality, split out only the pages you need — extract your ID proof, address proof, or specific certificate pages into separate smaller files that meet the upload limit. Also useful for emailing specific sections of a large report without sending the entire 50-page document.
100% browser-based — zero server uploads
Split PDF uses the pdf-lib library running entirely in your browser. Your file is read from your device, processed in memory, and the output downloads directly back to your device. No data touches any server. Ideal for confidential documents like contracts, medical records, or legal filings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Split PDF uses pdf-lib which runs 100% in your browser. Your file never leaves your device — not even a single byte is uploaded to any server.
What does "Extract Pages" mode do?
You can specify individual pages or ranges like "1,3,5-8" to create a new PDF containing only those pages. Useful for extracting specific sections from large PDFs.
What is the file size limit?
Up to 50 MB, since processing is done locally in your browser. Very large files may take a few seconds.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
No. Remove the password first using our Unlock PDF tool, then split here.
What happens to bookmarks and links after splitting?
Internal bookmarks and hyperlinks that reference pages within the extracted range are preserved. Links pointing to pages outside the extracted range will no longer work in the split output since those pages are not included.
