PDF Splitter

Extract pages or split a PDF into separate files.

Pull individual pages or page ranges out of a larger PDF and save them as a new file — entirely in your browser. Perfect when you only need to share chapter 3 of a manual, slide 12 of a deck, or pages 4–7 of a contract.

Use the tool

Use commas and dashes. Order is preserved.

What this tool does

A PDF splitter reads your source document, copies the pages you choose into a fresh PDF, and lets you download it. We use the open-source pdf-lib library client-side, so your file is never uploaded.

Why people use it

  • Send only the relevant pages of a long document instead of the whole file.
  • Break a scanned book into chapters for easier reference.
  • Extract a single signed page from a multi-page contract.
  • Pull receipts out of a monthly bank statement for expense reports.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Open the PDF Splitter tool.
  2. Choose the PDF you want to split.
  3. Type the pages you want — for example: 1-3, 5, 8-10.
  4. Click ‘Extract Pages’ and download the new PDF.

Real examples

Sharing one chapter

A teacher extracts pages 14–28 of a 200-page textbook PDF to share that week’s reading without distributing the entire file.

Filing a single receipt

A consultant pulls page 7 from a hotel folio PDF to attach to a single expense entry.

Common use cases

  • Chapter extraction
  • Receipt isolation
  • Sharing single signed pages
  • Splitting bank statements
  • Pulling appendices out of reports

Frequently asked questions

Are pages reordered?

Pages are written in the exact order you list them, so 5, 1, 3 produces a PDF with page 5 first.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The split happens entirely in your browser via pdf-lib.

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

Encrypted PDFs aren’t supported. Remove the password first using your PDF reader, then split.
