📄 Page Ranges
Every N pages becomes a separate PDF
📄 Individual Pages
Each page of the PDF will be saved as its own PDF file. Great for extracting every page separately.
Use commas for individual pages, hyphens for ranges. Example: 1, 3, 5-8, 12
Final files: prefix + index + .pdf (e.g. split-1.pdf, split-2.pdf)

What Is PDF Splitting?
PDF splitting takes a single PDF and separates its pages into multiple smaller PDF files. It's the opposite of merging. You might want to split a PDF to:
Extract a single chapter from a large report
Save each invoice as a separate file
Distribute only part of a document
Reduce file size by keeping only the pages you need
Extract specific pages to share with colleagues
How to Use This Tool
Upload a PDF — drag and drop, or click to browse.
Choose a split mode — Range, Count, Individual, or Extract.
Configure the mode — set page ranges, count per file, or pages to extract.
Set the output prefix — determines the filename pattern.
Click "Split PDF" — a ZIP file downloads with all the split PDFs.
Split Modes Explained
Split by Range — define custom page ranges (e.g., pages 1–5 as one file, 6–10 as another). Each range becomes its own PDF.
Split by Count — pick a fixed number of pages (like 10), and the tool creates a new PDF for every 10 pages.
Individual Pages — every page becomes its own single-page PDF. Great for extracting all pages as separate files.
Extract Pages — pull specific pages into a single PDF. Say you want pages 1, 3, 5–8, and 12 as one file — just list them.
Page Number Syntax
In Range and Extract modes, you can use this syntax:
Single page — 5 (just page 5)
Range — 5-10 (pages 5 through 10)
Open range — 5- (pages 5 to the end) or -10 (pages 1 to 10)
Combination — 1, 3, 5-8, 12 (multiple selections)
Output Filenames
The output files are named with the prefix you provide followed by a number:
Prefix split → split-1.pdf, split-2.pdf, etc.
Prefix chapter → chapter-1.pdf, chapter-2.pdf, etc.
Prefix invoice → invoice-1.pdf, invoice-2.pdf, etc.
ZIP Download
All output PDFs are bundled into a single ZIP file. This is cleaner than downloading individual files, especially when splitting a large PDF into dozens of pieces. You get:
One download click instead of many
All files organized in one archive
Easy extraction with any ZIP tool
Common Use Cases
Chapter extraction — pull chapter 3 out of a 200-page ebook.
Invoice processing — split a combined invoice PDF into individual files for accounting.
Form distribution — send only the relevant pages to each department.
Batch printing — split by count to fit printer page limits.
Content review — extract specific pages to share with reviewers.
Digital filing — split scanned documents by category.
Study materials — separate chapters or sections of a textbook.
What Gets Preserved
Page content — all text, images, and vectors are copied exactly.
Page size and orientation — each output page keeps its original dimensions.
Internal links — links within the split pages still work.
Fonts and graphics — embedded fonts and drawings are kept intact.
Annotations — comments, highlights, and form fields are preserved.
Everything runs in your browser using pdf-lib (for PDF manipulation) and JSZip (for bundling outputs). Your PDF never leaves your device, and the split files are generated entirely in memory until you download the ZIP.
