Pdf Splitter

What it does

Splits a PDF file into separate documents by page number or page ranges. Processed locally.

You only need some pages from a large PDF — but extracting them requires expensive software or insecure web services

Large PDF documents often contain more than you need. A 50-page report where you only need chapter 3, a scanned book where you need pages 15-20, or a contract where you must send only the signature page to a third party. Splitting PDFs requires either Adobe Acrobat Pro or free web services that upload your documents to unknown servers — both are problematic for sensitive documents.

Split PDF files directly in the browser — choose pages, ranges or split per page — entirely local and secure

PDF Splitter splits PDF files into separate documents directly in your browser. Choose specific pages, page ranges or split the entire document into individual pages — all without the file leaving your machine. The tool shows a thumbnail view of all pages so you can choose exactly the pages you need, and downloads the result as separate PDF files or a ZIP file.

Features

How it works

  1. Upload the PDF file you want to split — the tool shows thumbnails of all pages so you can see the content
  2. Select specific pages, type page ranges or choose "split per page" to split the entire document
  3. Download the selected pages as a new PDF, as separate files or as a ZIP file — all processed locally

Use cases

Why use PDF Splitter?

PDF splitting is the natural counterpart to PDF merging — and equally common in daily work. Whether you need to isolate specific pages, reduce file size for email or archive individual documents from a scanned folder, PDF Splitter is the fastest and most secure alternative.

Security is critical when working with sensitive documents. When sharing a contract with a third party, you may want to send only the signature page — not the entire agreement with confidential terms. PDF Splitter lets you do this without the document leaving your machine.

The visual page selector makes the tool intuitive and error-proof. Instead of guessing page numbers in a large document, you see thumbnails of all pages and click on the ones you want. No risk of extracting the wrong pages.

FAQ

Are my files safe?
Yes, all processing happens locally in your browser. No files are uploaded to servers. You can safely split contracts, financial documents and other sensitive files without privacy concerns.
Can I extract non-contiguous pages?
Yes, you can select any pages — e.g. pages 1, 5, 8 and 12 — and get them collected in one new PDF document. You do not need to select contiguous page ranges.
Is the quality preserved?
Yes, the tool extracts pages without recompressing or changing the content. Images, text, links and formatting are preserved exactly as in the original — no quality loss.
How large files can the tool handle?
Most machines handle PDFs up to 50-100 MB without problems. For extremely large files the thumbnail view may take somewhat longer, but the actual splitting works fast.
