How PDF Split Works

1

Upload your PDF

Drop your PDF file onto the upload area. The tool will detect the total page count automatically.

2

Choose split mode

Select "Split All Pages" to get one file per page, or enter custom ranges like "1-3, 5, 7-9" to extract specific sections.

3

Download your files

Get individual PDF files for each page or range, or download everything at once as a ZIP archive.

Key Features

Split All Pages

Extract every page as its own separate PDF file in one click — great for large documents you need to distribute individually.

Custom Page Ranges

Define exactly which pages to extract using ranges like "1-3, 5, 8-12". Each range becomes a separate PDF.

ZIP Download

When splitting into multiple files, download everything as a single ZIP archive for convenience.

Instant Results

Splitting happens in-browser using pdf-lib — no server queue, no waiting for email delivery.

100% Private

Your PDF is never uploaded. All splitting is performed locally in your browser.

Preserves Quality

Pages are copied structurally — all text, images, fonts, and vector graphics are preserved at original quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q
How do I split a PDF into individual pages?
A
Upload your PDF, then select the "Split All Pages" mode. Each page will be exported as a separate PDF file. You can download them individually or as a ZIP archive.
Q
How do I extract specific pages from a PDF?
A
Select the "Custom Ranges" mode and enter your page ranges separated by commas — for example: "1-3, 5, 8-12". This will create one PDF for pages 1-3, one for page 5, and one for pages 8-12.
Q
Can I extract a single page from a PDF?
A
Yes. In Custom Ranges mode, simply enter the page number (e.g. "5") to extract just that page as its own PDF.
Q
Does splitting a PDF reduce quality?
A
No. Pages are copied directly using pdf-lib without re-rendering. All text, images, fonts, and vector graphics remain at their original quality.
Q
What page range format should I use?
A
Use comma-separated ranges where individual pages are single numbers and ranges use a dash. Example: "1-3, 5, 7-9" extracts pages 1, 2, 3 as a group, page 5 alone, and pages 7, 8, 9 as a group. Each group becomes one PDF file.
Q
Are my PDFs uploaded to a server?
A
No. All splitting is performed in your browser using the pdf-lib library. Your PDF file never leaves your device.
Q
What is the maximum number of pages I can split?
A
There is no technical limit. A 500-page PDF can be split into 500 individual files. The only constraint is your device's memory and the time it takes to process all pages.
