About PDF Splitting

PDF splitting extracts specific pages from a larger document into separate PDF files. This is useful for extracting specific sections, breaking large documents into manageable parts, or removing unwanted pages.

You can split by individual pages (creating one PDF per page) or by custom ranges (e.g., pages 1-5 as one file, pages 6-10 as another). Both methods preserve the original formatting and quality.

The splitting process uses pdf-lib to parse and extract pages in your browser. Your documents never leave your device, ensuring privacy for confidential files like contracts, medical records, or financial documents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I split a PDF into custom page ranges?

Yes. You can specify exact page ranges like 1-3, 5, 8-10. Each range becomes a separate PDF file.

Does splitting reduce PDF quality?

No. Splitting is a lossless operation. Pages are extracted without re-encoding, so quality is identical to the original.

Can I split password-protected PDFs?

No. The PDF must be unlocked before splitting. Remove password protection first, then split the unprotected file.

Is there a page limit?

No. The tool handles PDFs of any length. Very large documents may take a moment to process depending on your device's capabilities.
