Split PDF
Extract a page range from a PDF into a new, smaller file.
🔒 100% private — your files are processed locally and never leave your device.
Big PDFs are clumsy to share when the other person only needs a slice of them. Maybe a 60-page bank statement contains the one page you have to submit, or a long report has a single chapter worth circulating. The Split PDF tool lets you pull out an exact page range — pages 3 to 8, for example — and save just that section as a brand-new, lighter PDF, leaving the original completely untouched.
How to use the Split PDF tool
- Upload the PDF you want to take a section from.
- Enter the first and last page of the range you need.
- Click Split PDF.
- Download the extracted document.
When splitting saves the day
Sharing only the relevant pages is both more considerate and more secure. Nobody wants to scroll through 50 irrelevant pages to find the one that matters, and you may not want to expose the rest of a confidential document at all. Splitting is perfect for separating a single signed page from a bulky agreement, isolating one invoice from a combined statement, or breaking a large e-book into manageable parts that are easier to email.
Tips for accurate splits
- Open the PDF first in any reader to confirm the exact page numbers you want.
- Remember pages are inclusive; entering 3 to 8 keeps both page 3 and page 8.
- Run the tool more than once to carve several different ranges out of one source.
- Keep the original — splitting never modifies it, so you always have the full file.
The extraction simply copies the chosen pages into a fresh document using pdf-lib, so text stays selectable and quality is identical to the source. Because it all happens locally, even sensitive financial or legal PDFs are split without ever being uploaded.
