Tips for Splitting PDFs

Split Modes

Use "All Pages" to create one PDF per page, "Custom Ranges" for specific pages like "1-3, 5, 7-9", or "Every N Pages" to divide into equal groups of N pages.

Custom Ranges

Enter page numbers separated by commas. Use dashes for ranges. For example, "1-3, 5, 7-9" extracts pages 1, 2, 3 as one file, page 5 as another, and pages 7, 8, 9 as a third file.

Page Preview

After uploading, thumbnail previews are generated for every page. In custom range mode, click on thumbnails to toggle page selection and build your range visually.

Download Options

Each split file has its own download button. Use "Download All" to trigger sequential downloads of all files. For large sets, your browser may ask for permission.

Browser Compatibility

Works in all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). Uses pdf-lib.js for splitting and pdf.js for thumbnail rendering, both running entirely in your browser.

Original Preserved

Splitting never modifies your original PDF file. The tool creates new PDF documents from copies of the original pages, leaving the source file completely untouched.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I split a PDF into individual pages?

Upload your PDF file by clicking the upload area or dragging and dropping it. Select "All Pages (Individual)" mode, then click "Split PDF". Each page will become a separate PDF file that you can download individually or all at once.

What split modes are available?

Three split modes are available: "All Pages" splits into individual single-page PDFs, "Custom Ranges" lets you specify exact pages like "1-3, 5, 7-9", and "Every N Pages" splits the PDF into groups of N pages each.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. This tool is 100% client-side. Your PDF files are processed entirely in your browser using pdf-lib.js. No data is sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.

Can I download individual split pages?

Yes! After splitting, each output file appears in the results panel with its own download button. You can download individual files or use the "Download All" button to download all split files at once.

What is the maximum file size supported?

The tool supports PDF files up to 50MB. Since all processing happens in your browser, performance depends on your device. Large PDFs with many pages may take a few seconds to process.

Can I split password-protected PDFs?

Password-protected PDFs that require a password to open cannot be split directly. You would need to remove the password protection first. PDFs with only print/copy restrictions (owner password) may still work.
