Features
Four Split Modes
Page range (select specific pages), equal parts (divide into N files), every page (one PDF per page), or split at specific points. Flexibility for any splitting need.
Browser-Based Processing
All splitting happens locally using pdf-lib running entirely on your device. Your PDF contents are not uploaded to our servers.
Custom Output Filenames
Use a filename pattern like `MyDoc_part_{n}.pdf` to automatically name output files with sequential numbers, keeping your document organization clean.
Visual Page Selection
Page range mode lets you specify pages with simple syntax like '1-5, 8, 10-12'. Easy to read, easy to adjust, and supports complex selections.
Batch Download
Download all output PDFs at once as a ZIP file when splitting into multiple files. Saves significant time on file management for large splits.
No Page Count Limit
Split PDFs of any size, limited only by your device's memory, not by arbitrary file or page restrictions imposed by service providers.
Privacy & Security
PDFs typically contain sensitive information: confidential contracts, financial records, identification documents, business documents. Other PDF splitters require uploading these files to remote servers for processing. We do this differently. Our PDF splitter uses pdf-lib running entirely in your browser, so your file contents stay on your device. We don't have splitting servers because the splitting happens on your computer using your browser's JavaScript engine. This makes us the privacy-respecting alternative for splitting sensitive documents.
Use Cases
Extracting Specific Sections
Pull out chapters, sections, or appendices from larger documents. Useful when you only need to share specific portions of a long PDF.
Splitting Scanned Documents
Separate batch-scanned documents into individual files. Split a stack of scanned receipts, invoices, or contracts into separate PDFs for filing.
Dividing Reports
Break large quarterly reports, annual reports, or research papers into smaller sections for easier sharing or distribution to different audiences.
Form Processing
Split multi-page form submissions into individual files for processing, archiving, or distribution to different reviewers in your organization.
Educational Materials
Separate course materials, lesson plans, or study guides into individual lessons or chapters for student access or focused review.
