PDF Splitter

What is PDF Splitting?

PDF splitting is the process of extracting one or more pages from a PDF into a new, smaller PDF file. This is the inverse of merging — useful when you need a single page from a long report, want to separate chapters, or need to share only part of a document.

How to Use This Tool

1. Upload your PDF file.
2. Enter the page ranges you want to extract (for example: 1-3, 5, 7-9).
3. Click "Split PDF" to generate the new file.
4. Download the resulting PDF containing only your selected pages.

All splitting is performed locally in your browser using pdf-lib. Your file is never uploaded.

Range Syntax

• 1-5 — extract pages 1 through 5.
• 1, 3, 5 — extract pages 1, 3, and 5.
• 1-3, 7, 10-12 — combine ranges and individual pages.

Common Use Cases

• Extracting a single chapter from an e-book.
• Sharing only the relevant pages of a long contract.
• Removing appendices to reduce file size for email.
• Splitting a multi-document scan into individual files.
