Split PDF
Save each page, or keep a page range.
PDF tools use pdf-lib (MIT).
About this tool
Split either saves every page as its own PDF (zipped when there are many) or keeps a page range you type. Use it when a scanner dumped a whole stack into one file and you only need pages 3–5.
Pages are copied, not photographed. A 100-page split ceiling exists so a zip of hundreds of PDFs does not freeze the tab. Encrypted files are not opened here.
pdf-lib reads the document locally and writes either a range PDF or a zip of single-page PDFs. 50 MB source cap. Range text is inclusive pages.
How to split a PDF
- Choose the PDF stack you want to break apart. It is not uploaded.
- Pick every page, or type a range such as 2-5.
- Split. Many pages download as a zip.
- Save the result.
50 MB source. Splits over 100 pages are blocked. Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first.
FAQ
- Is the PDF uploaded to split it?
- No. Page copy happens in the browser.
- Why does splitting many pages give me a zip?
- Each page is a real PDF. A zip is the practical way to download many of them at once.
- Can I extract pages 1, 4, and 9 only?
- This UI is each-page or a contiguous range. Non-contiguous picks are not in v1.
- Does split rasterize text?
- No. It copies PDF pages. For pictures of pages, use PDF to JPG.
- What is the 100-page cap?
- A crash guard for zip size and memory, not a paid limit.
