How it works
Splitting a PDF lets you extract exactly the pages you need from a larger document. This is useful when you receive a combined report and only need one chapter, when a contract has multiple sections you want to share separately, or when you scanned a document and want to isolate individual pages.
ToolPDFs Split PDF tool processes your file entirely inside your browser using the pdf-lib library. Enter a page range in the format shown, for example 1-3,5 to extract pages 1 through 3 and page 5, then click download. The result is a new PDF containing only those pages.
The tool is free with no account required. It works on any modern browser including Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android, and all major desktop browsers. Because processing is local, your PDF never leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded to a server when I split it?
No. The tool uses the pdf-lib library running entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.
What page range format should I use?
Use comma-separated ranges and individual page numbers. For example, 1-3,5 extracts pages 1, 2, 3, and 5. Ranges like 2-6 extract a consecutive sequence.
Can I extract non-consecutive pages?
Yes. Separate individual pages and ranges with commas. For example, 1,3,7-9 extracts pages 1, 3, 7, 8, and 9.
Does the tool split a PDF into individual pages automatically?
Not automatically. Enter a range that covers just one page at a time to extract a single page. For a full automatic split into individual pages, enter each page number separately.
Does this work on mobile?
Yes. Split PDF works in Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android.
