About PDF Splitting

Splitting a PDF is useful when you need only certain sections of a large document, want to share individual chapters, or need to organize PDFs into smaller, more manageable files. Whether it is a multi-chapter report, a scanned document, or a collection of invoices, splitting gives you exactly the pages you need.

This tool processes everything directly in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your PDF file never leaves your device. There are no uploads, no server transfers, and no privacy concerns.

The splitting process copies the selected pages into new PDF documents without re-encoding. Each output file preserves the original quality, fonts, and layout of the source PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a file size limit for splitting PDFs?
Since processing happens entirely in your browser, the limit depends on your device's available memory. Most modern systems can handle PDFs up to a few hundred megabytes. For best performance, keep files under 200 MB.
What split modes are available?
Three modes: Range (split by custom page ranges like 1-5, 8, 11-15 or at fixed intervals), Pages (enter specific page numbers to extract as individual PDFs), and Extract (create one PDF per page or extract selected pages).
Is my data safe? Do you store my PDF?
Absolutely. All processing happens in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your file is never uploaded, transmitted, or stored on any server. We do not have access to your documents.
Can I split password-protected PDFs?
Password-protected PDFs are not supported. Please remove the password protection from your PDF first using a PDF unlocker tool, then try splitting again.
Will the split files maintain the original quality?
Yes. The splitting process copies pages without re-encoding. All output files preserve the original quality, fonts, images, and layout of the source PDF.
