What is a PDF Splitter?

A PDF splitter divides a single PDF document into multiple smaller PDFs based on page ranges, intervals, or specific pages you select. It's the counterpart to a PDF merger — instead of combining files, you're slicing one apart. Common reasons to split include extracting a chapter from an ebook, separating a multi-page scan into individual records, removing unwanted pages, or pulling a specific page out of a large report. Our PDF splitter runs entirely in your browser using PDF-lib and PDF.js, so your files never get uploaded anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the PDF Splitter free to use?

Yes — completely free, no signup, no daily limit, no watermarks.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.

How do I write page ranges?

Separate ranges with commas. Use a hyphen for ranges. Example: 1-3, 5, 7-9, 12 creates four output PDFs.

What's the difference between "Custom Ranges" and "Extract Selected Pages"?

Custom Ranges creates one output PDF per range (so 1-3, 5 = two PDFs). Extract Selected combines all picked pages into one single PDF.

How does "Remove Pages" work?

Click the pages you want gone — the output is a single PDF containing everything except those pages, in the original order.

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

No — encrypted PDFs need to be unlocked first. We never request or store passwords.

How are multiple outputs delivered?

If your split produces more than one file, they're automatically bundled into a single ZIP for download.

Will the output quality be the same as the original?

Yes. Pages are copied exactly — no re-rendering, no compression, no quality loss.
