How to use Split PDF
- Add a PDF. Page previews appear.
- Choose how to split: select pages to extract, enter ranges, or split every N pages.
- Select Split PDF and download one file or a ZIP of files.
How it works
Splitting copies pages into new PDF files without re-compressing them, so quality is unchanged. Ranges use the page numbers you see: 1-3 is pages 1 to 3, 5 is page 5, and 8- means page 8 to the end.
Previews are rendered with Mozilla’s pdf.js, the same engine Firefox uses to display PDFs, and the split itself uses pdf-lib, all in your browser.
Example
For a 10-page PDF, ranges 1-3, 4-7, 8- produce three files with 3, 4 and 3 pages.
Frequently asked questions
How do I extract just one page?
Choose "Extract selected pages", select that page in the preview, then split.
Can I split a PDF into individual pages?
Yes: "Every page as its own PDF" creates one file per page, downloaded together as a ZIP.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied, not converted.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Everything happens on your device.
Limitations
- Bookmarks and form fields are not copied to the new files.
- Password-protected PDFs are refused with an explanation; remove the protection first.
