Split PDF

The most common split case: someone scanned a stack of unrelated documents in one go and you got one 47-page PDF that contains a tax return, three contracts, and a utility bill. Or your bank emails 12 months of statements as one annual PDF and you need them month by month. Split solves both shapes in one tool.

Three split modes cover almost every job. By page range lets you specify ranges like `1-5, 6-12, 13-20` — each range becomes its own output PDF. By every N pages is the right call when the document has a consistent structure (e.g. each statement is exactly 4 pages, so split every 4). By exact page numbers drops the document into one PDF per individual page — useful when you need to email pages 7 and 12 specifically to different people.

Output arrives as a ZIP. Each PDF inside is named based on the source filename plus a numeric or range suffix. Page numbering, fonts, embedded images, form fields, and existing signatures all survive the split intact.

The original PDF is never altered. The split outputs are separate files — your input is auto-deleted from our servers within one hour like every other upload.

If you need the inverse — combining multiple PDFs into one — use the Merge tool.

Privacy note: single-range splits run entirely in your browser when you pick "Process in your browser" above the upload zone. The PDF is read once via FileReader, split using pdf-lib locally, and the result is delivered as a download — zero network requests during processing. For multi-range splits (e.g. extracting three separate page-range PDFs in one operation), server mode is still required because the in-browser handler returns a single PDF per run. For most everyday split workflows — pulling one document type out of a combined PDF — browser mode is the right pick.
