Why use Split PDF?
- Accepts mixed range syntax like 1-3, 5, 8-10 in one field, producing a separate PDF for each range you list.
- Copies pages losslessly with pdf-lib, so extracted files keep selectable text and original image quality.
- Bundles many output files into one ZIP, so splitting a long document into per-page files is a single download.
- Runs fully in your browser, keeping discovery documents, medical records, and statements on your own device.
- Has no daily quota and adds no watermark, unlike free server tools that cap tasks or stamp output.
Common use cases
- Pull a single chapter out of a long ebook or textbook PDF as its own file.
- Separate individual receipts or transactions from a combined monthly bank statement.
- Extract just the signature page from a long contract for resubmission.
- Break a 200-page report into per-section files so reviewers only get the part they own.
How Split PDF keeps your data private
Splitting happens entirely in-browser using pdf-lib — the bytes of your original PDF are rewritten into new files right on your device. This matters when you're slicing medical records, legal discovery documents, or financial statements, because none of the page-level data or metadata ever leaves your computer or crosses a network.

About Split PDF
A PDF splitter breaks one PDF into several smaller documents, either one file per page or one file per page range you specify. This free tool runs entirely in your browser with pdf-lib, so the original file is never uploaded anywhere. You upload the PDF, choose 'Every page' or type ranges such as 1-3, 5, 8-10, and the tool produces a separate document for each selection. When you split into many pieces, you can download them all at once as a ZIP instead of saving each file by hand. The split is lossless because pdf-lib copies the chosen page objects into the new files rather than rasterizing them, so text remains selectable, embedded fonts survive, and image quality is unchanged. The one thing that does not transfer is the document outline: bookmarks point to page numbers that no longer exist inside the smaller files, so the navigation tree is not rebuilt. Splitting solves a lot of everyday problems. You might extract a single chapter from a 300-page book, pull one month's receipts out of a year-end statement, isolate a signature page for re-signing, or cut a long report into per-section files so each reviewer receives only their part. Because everything is processed locally, confidential material such as legal discovery, financial records, and medical files stays on your machine and never crosses a network. The tool also keeps working offline once loaded, adds no watermark, and imposes no daily task limit.
