About the PDF Splitter Tool
Large PDFs are frequently more than you need. A 200-page annual report might contain one chapter that matters to you; a scanned bundle might mix three unrelated documents into a single file. Splitting lets you pull out exactly the pages you want and discard the rest.
It is also a practical fix for size limits. Portals and email systems that reject a 40 MB file will usually accept four 10 MB parts. This splitter uses pdf-lib to rebuild page ranges into new documents entirely within your browser, so contracts, medical records, and financial statements never leave your device.
How to Use PDF Splitter
- Select the PDF you want to split.
- Specify the page ranges you need โ for example 1-10, or 5, 9, 14-20.
- Press Split to generate the new document or documents.
- Download the resulting files.
When to Use This Tool
- Extracting one chapter or section from a long report
- Separating a scanned bundle back into individual documents
- Breaking an oversized PDF into parts that fit an upload limit
- Removing confidential pages before sharing a document externally
- Pulling out just the pages you need to print
Things Worth Knowing
- Page numbering starts at 1 and refers to document pages, not any printed page numbers on the page itself.
- The original file on your device is never modified โ splitting produces new files.
- Encrypted or password-protected PDFs must be unlocked before they can be split.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I specify which pages to keep?
Use comma-separated numbers and hyphenated ranges together: 1-3, 7, 12-15 keeps pages one to three, page seven, and pages twelve to fifteen.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied at the object level with their content streams intact. Text stays selectable and images are untouched.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Not while it is encrypted. Remove the protection first using the application that created it or a reader that supports decryption.
Is there a page limit?
No artificial limit. Very large documents take longer to process because everything runs on your own device.
