All processing happens in your browser
Add a PDF by clicking or dropping it here. It never leaves your browser.
Split a PDF by pulling out the pages you need into a brand new document. Pick a start page and an end page, then download the extract. Your file never leaves your browser, so even sensitive documents stay private.
How to use
- Drop a PDF onto the box or click to choose one from your device.
- The page count loads automatically and the range fills in to cover the whole file.
- Set the start page and end page you want to keep (numbering starts at 1).
- Click Split PDF to build the new document from that range.
- Click Download to save the extracted pages as a new PDF.
Examples
- A 20 page report: set start 1 and end 5 to keep only the summary section, giving a 5 page PDF.
- A 12 page contract: set start 7 and end 7 to extract just the signature page as a 1 page PDF.
- A 50 page scan: set start 10 and end 25 to save a 16 page chapter on its own.
FAQs
- Does my PDF get uploaded to a server?
- No. The split runs entirely in your browser using the pdf-lib library. The file is read locally and never sent anywhere, so private documents stay private.
- How is the page range counted?
- Pages are counted from 1, and the range is inclusive. Setting start 3 and end 6 keeps pages 3, 4, 5, and 6, which is 4 pages in total.
- Can I extract a single page?
- Yes. Set the start page and end page to the same number. For example start 7 and end 7 produces a one page PDF.
- What happens if I enter a page number that does not exist?
- The tool checks your range against the real page count and shows a clear message instead of producing a broken file. For example it will tell you the document has only 6 pages if you ask for page 9.
- Why will my password protected PDF not split?
- Encrypted PDFs cannot be read without the password. Open the file in a PDF viewer, remove the protection, save a copy, then split that copy.
- Does splitting change the original file?
- No. The original stays untouched on your device. The tool builds a separate new PDF that contains only the pages you chose.
