Why would you need to split a PDF?

PDFs often come as large, all-in-one files — but you rarely need the whole thing at once. Splitting a PDF lets you work with only the pages that matter, making it easier to share, email, archive, or present specific content without sending an unnecessarily large file. Whether you're extracting a single invoice from a 50-page report, separating scanned book chapters, or pulling out just the pages a client needs to sign — splitting saves time and protects information you don't need to share.

Where splitting a PDF matters most

Sharing specific sections

Extract just the invoice, contract clause, or results page from a large document before emailing — so the recipient only sees what's relevant.

Breaking up scanned books

Large scanned PDFs of books or manuals can be split chapter by chapter, making them easier to navigate, store on a device, or share with others.

Separating multi-page forms

Government forms, tax documents, and applications often bundle multiple sub-forms into one PDF. Split them to fill each section independently or attach only what's required.

Client-ready deliverables

Freelancers and agencies can extract client-specific sections from a master report or proposal — no need to create separate files from scratch.

What this PDF splitter supports

Split by Page Range

Type ranges like 1-3, 4-6, 7 — one per line. Each line becomes a separate PDF. Extract any subset of pages in one go.

Split Every N Pages

Divide a PDF into equal chunks automatically. Preview how many output files will be created before you split — perfect for reports, booklets, and scanned documents.

Pick Pages (Thumbnail Mode)

Browse thumbnails of every page, click to select, and extract exactly what you need into a new PDF. The easiest way to remove unwanted pages.

ZIP or PDF Output

Single-part splits download as a PDF. Multi-part splits are automatically packaged as a ZIP containing all your output files.

100% Private — No Upload

All processing runs locally in your browser using pdf-lib and PDF.js. Your file never leaves your device — safe for confidential or legally-restricted documents.

Works on Every Device

No software or plugin needed. Works on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, and Android — just open the page in any modern browser and split.
