What is a PDF Splitter?
A PDF splitter lets you break a PDF file into multiple separate documents. Instead of working with one large file, you can extract individual pages or ranges of pages into new PDFs. This is useful for separating chapters from a book, extracting specific pages from a report, or splitting a scanned document into single-page files.
Our PDF splitter extracts every page from your uploaded PDF and displays them as thumbnails. You can select individual pages or define page ranges to extract, and each selection becomes its own PDF download. Everything runs locally in your browser using WebAssembly-powered PDF libraries, so your files never leave your computer.
Why Split PDFs in Your Browser?
Server-based PDF splitting requires uploading your document, waiting for processing, and downloading the result — which also risks your privacy. Our tool handles everything client-side, so your files stay on your device at all times.
This means no file size limits, no server queues, and no privacy concerns. Whether you are splitting confidential legal documents or large presentation files, the processing is instant and completely local. The visual page preview lets you see exactly what you are extracting before you download.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I split a PDF file?
Upload your PDF by dragging it onto the upload zone or clicking "Select PDF File". Each page appears as a thumbnail. Click individual pages to select them, or enter a page range. Click "Extract Selected" to create a new PDF with only those pages, or "Extract All as Separate" to download each page as its own PDF.
Is my data safe? Will you see my files?
Absolutely not. All processing is done entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript libraries. Your files are never uploaded to any server. Your documents stay private and secure on your own computer at all times.
Can I extract multiple page ranges?
Yes. You can select any combination of individual pages or use the range input to specify a consecutive set. Each extraction creates a new PDF containing only the pages you selected.
Can I split each page into a separate PDF?
Yes. Use the 'Extract All as Separate' option to download each page from your PDF as an individual file. This is useful when you need to distribute single pages from a larger document.
Are there any file size limits?
No. Since files are processed locally in your browser, there are no file size limits. However, very large files may take longer to process depending on your device's performance.
