PDF Split
Extract specific pages or page ranges from a PDF document. The entire process is done securely in your browser—no file uploads required.
- Select PDF: Click the "Select a PDF" button to upload your document.
- Enter Page Range: In the input field, specify which pages you want to extract. You can enter single pages (e.g., `3`), ranges (e.g., `5-8`), or a combination (e.g., `1, 4, 6-9`).
- Split & Download: Click the "Split & Download" button. The tool will process the file and your browser will automatically download the new PDF containing only your selected pages.
This tool uses the `pdf-lib` JavaScript library to perform all PDF manipulations directly within your web browser. When you select a file and specify a page range, the tool reads the PDF, creates a new document in memory containing only the pages you selected, and then initiates a download of the new file. Your original file remains untouched, and no data is ever sent to a server, ensuring complete privacy.
Can I split a PDF into multiple separate files at once?
Currently, this tool extracts the specified pages into a single new PDF document. A feature to split every page into an individual file is planned for a future update.
What happens if my PDF is password-protected?
The tool cannot process encrypted or password-protected PDFs. You will need to remove the protection using our 'Unlock PDF' tool or other software before you can split the file.
Is there a file size limit?
Since all processing happens in your browser, performance depends on your computer's memory. The tool is designed for common document sizes. Very large or complex PDFs might cause your browser to become slow or unresponsive during processing.
