What is PDF Splitter?
A PDF splitter is a browser-based tool that lets you break a multi-page PDF into smaller, more manageable pieces. Whether you need to extract a single chapter from a large report, pull out a few invoice pages from a batch scan, or separate every page into its own standalone file, a splitter gives you precise control over the output without requiring a desktop application or a subscription.
This tool supports two main splitting modes. Custom range extraction lets you specify exactly which pages to keep using a flexible notation such as "1-5, 8, 11-15", producing a new PDF that contains only those pages in the order you listed them. Burst mode, on the other hand, creates one individual PDF file per page, which is useful for distributing individual pages, uploading to systems that accept single-page documents, or archiving pages independently.
Because processing runs entirely in your browser using pdf-lib, your documents stay private — nothing is uploaded to a remote server. The tool handles standard A4 and letter documents as well as mixed-size PDFs, and it preserves all embedded fonts, images, and metadata in the output files. This makes it a reliable alternative to heavyweight desktop tools like Adobe Acrobat for everyday splitting tasks.
How to Use PDF Splitter
- Upload your PDF
Drag and drop or click to select the PDF file you want to split. A page count preview will appear.
- Choose a split mode
Select "Custom Range" to specify page numbers, or "Split All Pages" to burst every page into its own file.
- Enter page ranges
For custom mode, type ranges like "1-3, 5, 7-9". Pages will be extracted in the order you specify.
- Download the result
Download the extracted PDF or a ZIP archive containing all individual page files.
Key Benefits
All splitting happens in-browser with pdf-lib — your documents are never sent to any server.
Use comma-separated ranges and individual page numbers to extract exactly what you need.
Large PDFs split in seconds without waiting for uploads or server-side processing.
Fonts, images, and formatting are retained perfectly in every output file.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use commas to separate pages or ranges. For example "1-5, 8, 11-15" extracts pages 1 through 5, then page 8, then pages 11 through 15 into a single PDF.
Yes. Pages appear in the output in the order you list them, so entering "5, 1-3" places page 5 before pages 1 to 3 in the result.
There is no hard server-side limit since processing is local, but very large files (500 MB+) may be slower depending on your device's available memory.
