PDF Splitter
Split a PDF into separate pages or ranges.
About This Tool
PDF Split is a free online tool that extracts pages or ranges from a PDF file and saves them as separate documents — all in your browser, with no upload. Enter a page range like '1-3, 5, 8-10', split every N pages, or extract all pages individually. The total page count is shown upfront so you can plan your splits accurately.
The splitter runs on pdf-lib, a JavaScript library that processes your PDF entirely client-side. Sensitive documents such as contracts, financial statements, and legal filings never leave your device. The output PDFs are available for immediate download, each containing exactly the pages you specified.
PDF Split is commonly used to extract a specific chapter from a multi-chapter report, separate invoices from a statement bundle, isolate individual pages from a scanned document, or divide a large presentation into per-section handouts. It works seamlessly with PDF Merge to reorder and reassemble content.

What split options are available?
Split by page range, extract specific pages, split every N pages, or extract all individual pages.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No, all processing is done in your browser. Your files stay on your device.
How do I enter a page range?
Enter ranges like '1-3, 5, 7-10'. Separate multiple ranges or individual pages with commas. The tool extracts exactly those pages into a new PDF.
Can I split a large PDF into equal sections?
Yes. Use 'Split every N pages' mode to divide your PDF into equal-size chunks. For example, splitting a 30-page PDF every 10 pages produces three 10-page PDFs.
Does the tool support scanned PDFs?
Yes. PDF Split works with any valid PDF regardless of content type — scanned pages, text documents, forms, or mixed content.
