Help and details
- Select a PDF from your device.
- Choose how to split: by ranges such as 1-3, 5, 8-; every N pages; or by picking pages from the previews.
- Check the summary under the button, which says how many files will be created.
- Download the PDF (one part) or the ZIP (several parts). Your original is not changed.
- Page ranges are read strictly: 1-3 means pages 1 to 3, 8- means page 8 to the end, and each comma-separated item becomes its own file.
- Each part is built as a new PDF with the pdf-lib library by copying the chosen pages.
- Several parts are packed into a ZIP in your browser with the fflate library. File names are cleaned so they are safe to save.
- Output files carry no title, author, or other document properties.
- Standard PDF files
- Max 25 MB
- Max 200 pages
- Up to 100 output files per run
- Password-protected and digitally signed PDFs are refused.
- Links, bookmarks, and some form features may not carry over into the parts. Check important files.
- Ranges that run backwards (5-3) or go past the last page are rejected with an explanation rather than guessed.
- Very large results are limited to 100 files per run to keep your browser responsive.
This tool runs in local-only mode. Your text or files are processed in your browser and are not uploaded to our servers for this feature. Keep originals on your device; downloads create a separate copy.
- Is my PDF uploaded?
- No. Splitting happens in your browser and the files never leave your device.
- How do I get just pages 3 to 5?
- Choose By ranges and type 3-5. That creates one PDF with pages 3, 4, and 5. To get separate files use commas, for example 3, 4, 5.
- What does Pick pages do?
- It extracts the pages you tick into one new PDF, in their original order. It is the quickest way to keep a few pages from a long document.
