Split PDF
Load a PDF, pick pages by tapping or typing ranges, and pull them out into a new document. The original stays untouched, and unuploaded.
Guide
How to use it
- Drop the PDF in, the page grid appears with one numbered button per page.
- Select pages by tapping them, or type ranges like 1-3, 7, 10-12, both combine.
- Tap Extract selected pages.
- Download the new PDF. Repeat with a different selection for the next chunk, the original stays loaded.
Examples
Splits people need
The first two pages of a 40-page report, the summary the recipient will actually read, extracted and emailed in under a minute.
One signature page out of a contract. Page 7 alone becomes its own PDF for the counter-signer.
A custom selection: ranges and single pages combine, and the new document keeps them in order.
Method
How it works
The PDF parses entirely on your device with pdf-lib. Your selected pages are copied, in order, into a fresh document, text stays text, scans stay scans, nothing re-renders or recompresses.
The original file is never modified, splitting is a copy operation, so you can cut as many different selections from one load as you need.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I split one PDF into many files at once?
One selection per download, but the file stays loaded, select, extract, reselect, extract. Three chunks is three quick passes.
Do page numbers mean the printed numbers?
They mean physical pages, 1 is the first sheet, regardless of what the document’s own numbering says. The grid keeps that unambiguous.
Does splitting work on scanned PDFs?
Yes, pages are pages whether they hold text or scan images, and they copy at identical quality.
What about password-protected files?
They cannot be opened without the password. Unlock in your reader first, then split.
Will links inside the document keep working?
Links to extracted pages may break, cross-page references assume the old structure. Content itself is unaffected.
Is my document uploaded?
No. Parsing, selection and the new PDF all happen in your browser, statements and contracts stay on your machine.
