What splitting a PDF is good for
A PDF usually holds more than you actually need to share. A 52-page lease when the tenant only has to review four pages, a full year of bank statements when your accountant asked for March and April, or a batch scan that lumped twenty receipts into one long file. This tool splits any PDF in two ways: extract a range of pages into a brand-new file, or burst every single page into its own PDF, all delivered together in a ZIP.
The whole job runs inside your browser: your files are never uploaded to any server. There are no cloud copies, no upload progress bar to wait for, and the tool keeps working even if you go offline after the page loads.
How to use it
- Drag your PDF onto the drop zone or click “Choose a file”. The tool shows the file name, its size and the total page count.
- Pick a mode: “Extract a page range” or “Separate every page”.
- For a range, type the first and last page. Both numbers must be between 1 and the total, and “from” cannot be greater than “to”.
- Click “Split PDF” — the download starts immediately.
Worked example: sharing four pages of a lease
Say “lease-agreement.pdf” has 52 pages and your new tenant only needs the move-in inventory, which sits on pages 30 through 33. Load the file (the tool reports 52 pages), select “Extract a page range”, enter 30 and 33, and press the button. A second later you download “lease-agreement-pages-30-33.pdf”: a clean four-page PDF ready to email, with the rest of the contract kept private.
Bursting a scan into single pages
The second mode shines with batch scans. Office scanners love saving a whole stack of receipts or invoices as one continuous PDF. Choose “Separate every page” and you get a ZIP containing page-1.pdf, page-2.pdf and so on — each document in its own file, ready to rename and drop into the right folder.
Frequently asked questions
Can I extract several different sections from the same PDF?
Yes — just repeat the operation. The PDF stays loaded after each download, so change the range (say, pages 2 to 5 first, then 20 to 23) and click “Split PDF” again. Each extraction produces its own file, named after the pages it contains.
Does splitting reduce the quality?
No. Pages are copied into the new file exactly as they are, with no recompression and no conversion: text remains selectable and images keep their original resolution.
Is there a limit on pages or file size?
Files up to 100 MB are accepted. The practical page limit is your device’s memory, since everything is processed locally — documents with several hundred pages work fine on a modern computer or phone. The ZIP mode takes a bit longer on very large files because it builds one PDF per page.
Does it work with password-protected PDFs?
No. If the file is encrypted, the tool detects it and tells you with a clear message. Remove the password first (you need to know it) using the software where the document was created, then load the file again.
Is my file really never uploaded anywhere?
Correct. The split runs in JavaScript inside your own browser. You can prove it yourself: load the page, switch to airplane mode, and the tool keeps splitting PDFs as if nothing happened.
