Split PDF
Extract specific pages or a range from a PDF into a new file — entirely in your browser.
About this tool
Sometimes you need just part of a PDF — a few pages from a long document, one chapter from a book, a single form from a bundle. Splitting extracts exactly the pages you want into a new PDF, and this tool does it in your browser with no upload, which matters when the document is a bank statement, medical record or contract you'd rather not hand to a server.
Choose the pages with a simple, flexible syntax: a range like 1-3, individual pages like 5, or any combination such as 1-3, 5, 8-10. The tool shows the total page count of your file and confirms how many pages your selection will extract, flagging clearly if the selection is out of range or malformed before you commit. The extracted pages keep their original order and quality.
Everything runs locally via pdf-lib — your file is read into browser memory, the chosen pages are copied into a fresh PDF, and that's what downloads. Nothing is transmitted, nothing is stored, and it works offline once loaded. Whether you're pulling a receipt from a statement or separating a signed page to send on, it's instant and private.

Frequently asked questions
How do I specify which pages to extract?
Use ranges, single pages, or both together: '1-3' takes pages 1 through 3, '5' takes just page 5, and '1-3, 5, 8-10' combines them. The tool validates your input against the document's page count and tells you exactly how many pages you've selected.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No — splitting happens entirely in your browser. The PDF is read into memory locally, the selected pages are copied into a new file, and it downloads directly. Nothing is sent to any server, so confidential documents stay private.
Does splitting keep the original quality?
Yes — the extracted pages are copied exactly as they are, with no re-compression. Text remains selectable and searchable, images keep their resolution. The result is a standard PDF identical in quality to the source pages.
Can I split one PDF into many separate files?
This tool extracts one selection at a time into one new PDF — run it again with a different range to create another file. For splitting every page into its own file, extract each page number individually. Each extraction downloads separately.
