How to Split a PDF Online โ€” Free & Private

Splitting a PDF is essential when you have a large document and only need to share or work with specific pages. Common use cases include extracting a single contract clause from a lengthy agreement, separating individual chapters from an ebook, pulling out specific slides from a presentation saved as PDF, or creating individual page files from a scanned batch.

Our PDF Split tool gives you three flexible modes. Split All Pages creates one separate PDF for every page in your document โ€” ideal for batch processing or archiving individual pages. Page Range lets you specify exactly which consecutive pages to extract using standard notation like "1-5, 8, 11-15". Pick Pages shows a visual grid of your document's pages so you can click to select or deselect any combination.

All processing happens locally in your browser using the PDF-lib library. Your PDF file is never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy for sensitive documents like legal contracts, medical records, and financial statements.

When Should You Split a PDF?

  • Email size limits โ€” Extract only the relevant pages to keep attachment size small.
  • Sharing specific sections โ€” Send only the pages a recipient needs without revealing the full document.
  • Archiving โ€” Store each page of a scanned batch as an individual file for easier retrieval.
  • Form extraction โ€” Pull individual form pages from a multi-page packet for separate completion.
