✂️ PDF Splitter
Pick one PDF and split it three ways: every N pages, a list of ranges such as 1-3, 5, 7-10, or one file per page. A single result downloads straight away; anything more is packed into a ZIP. The parsing and copying happen in the tab with pdf-lib, so the document is never uploaded — but ranges that fall outside the page count are skipped without telling you.

Matching the split mode to the job
| The job in front of you | Mode to pick | Where it trips |
|---|---|---|
| Send one chapter by email | Specific page ranges | A range past the end is skipped silently |
| Give every page its own file | Extract every page | A 300-page file means 300 outputs |
| Chunks of ten pages | Every N pages | The last part is simply shorter |
| Two ranges, one download | Specific page ranges | One result downloads alone, no ZIP |
| Drop the blank pages | No such option here | Split first, then discard the files |
| An encrypted PDF | None — loading fails | Remove the password in a reader first |

How to Use
Upload the PDF
Add the file you want to split. Large manuals, reports, or combined documents are the most common inputs.
Pick a split mode
Choose to split every N pages, split by specific page ranges, or extract every page as a separate file. The range mode is best for pulling chapters out of a long document.
Enter the ranges if needed
For range mode, type patterns like 1-3, 5, 7-10. Each range becomes its own output PDF, in the order you list them.
Download the split files
Save the resulting PDFs (or a ZIP for many pages) and verify each section contains the pages you expected.
Detailed User Guide
Three split modes cover most workflows
Split every N pages, split by specific page ranges, or extract every page as a separate file. The range mode uses patterns like 1-3, 5, 7-10 and is ideal for pulling chapters out of a single large PDF.
Every-page mode is a PDF-to-images alternative
Extracting each page into its own one-page PDF is useful before uploading individual pages to a print service or a document management system that expects single files.
The original stays untouched
Splitting always produces new files — your source PDF is never modified. Download the resulting set (often as individual PDFs or a ZIP for many pages) and keep the original as a backup.
Encrypted inputs are not supported
Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked before splitting. The tool runs pdf-lib locally and will reject files it cannot read.
No size or page cap on your machine
Because processing happens in the browser, the practical limit is your device's memory rather than a server quota. Very large scanned files may be slow but will not be cut off mid-way.
