What's the difference between the split modes?

'Every page' creates one PDF per page. 'Page range' extracts the pages you specify into a single new PDF. 'Split at page' divides the document into two PDFs at the page number you enter.

How are page numbers counted?

Page numbering starts at 1 for the first page of the PDF. You can enter ranges like 3-7 or 1,3,5,9-12.

Can I split an encrypted PDF?

Only PDFs without an owner password can be split. If your PDF is encrypted, decrypt it first using the original source application.

What format is the output?

Standard PDF — no watermarks, no metadata added. If you split every page, you get a ZIP containing one PDF per page.

About Split PDF

Split PDF gives you three modes in one tool: split every page into a separate file, extract a specific page range as a single PDF, or split the document at a specific page number into two files. This is essential when you need to send only part of a large report, share a single page from a contract, or break a long scan into manageable chunks. The splitter runs locally in your browser using pdf-lib, which means even sensitive documents like tax forms or medical records never leave your device. Output files are standard PDFs with no watermark.

Privacy

Splitting runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF is not uploaded anywhere and nothing is retained after the operation.

Limitations

PDFs over 500 MB may take longer or hit browser memory limits. Page ranges must be valid and within the document length.
