What Is PDF Splitting?
PDF splitting divides a single PDF document into smaller parts. You can extract specific pages (e.g., pages 1, 3, and 5), split every page into its own file, or split into chunks of N pages (e.g., 5-page chunks). This is useful when you need to share only part of a document, separate scanned pages, or break a large report into smaller files.
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded to a server — it stays on your device. All processing uses the pdf-lib library locally.
When to Split PDFs
Split PDFs when you need to extract specific pages for a report or submission. Separate multi-page scans into individual files. Break a large document into smaller chunks for email size limits. Isolate a single page from a contract or form. Create separate handouts from a combined document.
Splitting preserves the visual appearance of each page. The output matches the original quality. You can split PDFs of any page count — the tool shows the total pages before you choose how to split.
Privacy and Security
Because all processing happens locally in your browser, your PDF never leaves your computer. No server receives, stores, or processes your file. This makes the tool suitable for sensitive documents like contracts, tax forms, or personal records.
There is no account required and no data retention. Once you close the tab or clear the page, no trace of your file remains on any server.
