PDF Split

What this tool does

Two jobs in one tool. Extract pages pulls a subset of pages — by clicking the page chips or typing a range like 1-3, 5, 7-9 — into a single new PDF. One file per page bursts the source PDF into individual single-page PDFs and packages them as a tidy ZIP. Both modes run entirely on your device: your PDF is never uploaded, never copied to a server, never logged. That privacy guarantee matters because the files most people split are the ones you would not want on a stranger's server in the first place — bank statements you only need a single page from, contracts where you want to send one specific clause, scanned ID bundles where each page belongs to a different person, multi-receipt expense reports, ebooks you want chapter by chapter. Page contents are copied straight from the source without re-rendering, so the output keeps the original text (still selectable and searchable), the original embedded fonts, and the original image resolution. There is no compression pass, no quality loss, no watermark, and no signup.

How to use it

1. Drop a PDF — We analyse the file once and show every page as a numbered chip. The page count appears next to the file name.
2. Pick your mode — Extract pages for a single output PDF, or One file per page to burst it into a ZIP of single-page PDFs.
3. Select pages — Click chips to toggle pages, or type a range like 1-3, 5, 7-9 directly. Both stay in sync.
4. Hit Split — Press the split button. The tool assembles the output locally — Click Download when the status reads ready.

Why split PDFs in your browser

Most free PDF splitter sites ask you to upload your document, run it through a third-party server, store it for hours, and bury aggressive cookie consent banners between you and the result. That is a poor trade for documents that often contain bank statements, ID scans, contracts, medical records, or paperwork with names, addresses and account numbers in plain view. This splitter keeps everything local. Pages are copied straight from your source PDF into the output without re-rendering or re-encoding, so the new file matches the original byte-for-byte where it counts: same text (still selectable and searchable), same fonts, same image resolution, same bookmarks. There is no compression pass, no flattening of forms, no watermark, and no signup. Output PDFs open identically in Adobe Acrobat, Preview, Foxit, or any browser PDF viewer. The same workflow handles single-page extracts, multi-range extracts, and bursting a 200-page document into 200 separate files — each one packaged in a single download.

Range syntax

Comma separates entries; a hyphen makes a range. 1-3, 5, 7-9 means pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9. Whitespace is ignored. Backwards ranges (9-7) are accepted and re-ordered. Numbers outside 1..pageCount raise an error so you don't get a half-empty output. Single page numbers are treated as a 1-page range. Duplicates are de-duplicated automatically.
