How do I write page ranges?

Use commas to separate ranges. '1-3' extracts pages 1 to 3 as one PDF. '1-3, 5, 7-9' creates three PDFs (pages 1–3, page 5 alone, pages 7–9). Single page numbers work too.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. The split happens locally in your browser using pdf-lib, so the file never leaves your device. Safe for confidential or sensitive documents.

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

PDFs that are signed or have permissions but no read password can usually be split. Files locked with an open password must be unlocked first.

What's the maximum PDF size?

The free tier supports PDFs up to 25 MB. Larger documents may slow your browser depending on your device.

About Split PDF

Split PDF lets you extract one or more page ranges from a single PDF and download each range as its own file. Drop in your document, type the pages you want (for example "1-3, 5, 7-9"), and you'll get back three separate PDFs in seconds. The tool runs entirely in your browser — your file is never uploaded to a server, so it's safe for confidential documents like contracts, tax returns, and medical records. You can extract a single page, a range of pages, or many ranges at once. Multiple outputs are bundled into a ZIP for easy downloading. Common uses include pulling a signature page out of a long contract, extracting one chapter from an ebook, splitting a scanned bundle of receipts into per-receipt files, and removing sensitive pages before sharing a document.

How Split PDF works

Drop in a PDF (up to 25 MB on the free tier).
Type the page ranges you want, separated by commas. Examples: '1-3' (one PDF, pages 1-3), '1, 3, 5' (three single-page PDFs), '1-3, 7-9' (two range PDFs).
pdf-lib copies just the requested pages into new documents — original page sizes, fonts, and images are preserved exactly.
Each range becomes its own PDF. Multiple ranges download together in a ZIP.
The original file on your device is never modified.
