PDF Splitter
Split PDF files into multiple documents or extract specific pages
How to Use
Click 'Select PDF File' or drag and drop a PDF file into the upload area
Wait for the file to be validated - you'll see the total page count and file size
Choose your preferred split mode: by page ranges, individual pages, or intervals
For range mode: enter page ranges like '1-3, 5-10' to extract specific sections
For interval mode: specify how many pages per output file (e.g., 3 for every 3 pages)
Click the Split PDF button to process - a single result downloads as a PDF, multiple results as one ZIP file

Frequently Asked Questions
Are my PDF files uploaded to your servers?
No, absolutely not. All PDF processing happens directly in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
What's the maximum file size I can split?
You can split PDF files up to 50MB in size. This accommodates most document splitting needs while maintaining good performance in your browser.
Can I split password-protected PDF files?
Currently, password-protected PDF files cannot be split. You'll need to remove the password protection first using appropriate PDF tools before splitting.
How do I specify page ranges?
Use comma-separated ranges like '1-3, 5-10, 15'. This creates separate PDFs for pages 1-3, pages 5-10, and page 15. You can mix ranges and individual pages freely.
What happens to the original PDF file?
The original PDF file remains unchanged. The splitting process creates new PDF files based on your specifications without modifying the source file.
Can I split a PDF into more than 100 files?
While technically possible, splitting into many files may impact browser performance. For best results, we recommend splitting into a reasonable number of files (under 50).
Does the tool work on mobile devices?
Yes, the PDF Splitter works on all modern browsers including mobile devices. However, for better performance with large files, we recommend using it on desktop or tablet devices.
Will the split PDFs maintain the original quality and formatting?
Yes, the splitting process preserves all original formatting, fonts, images, and layout. The quality remains identical to the source file.
