About Split PDF

What this tool does

Split PDF breaks one PDF into smaller files — by single page, custom page ranges, or odd/even sets — so you can share or keep only the pages you need.

How to use it

  • Open your PDF and choose a split mode (per page, ranges, or odd/even).
  • For ranges, type something like 1, 3, 5-8.
  • Download the resulting files, bundled as a ZIP when there is more than one.

How it works

Using pdf-lib, the tool copies the pages you select into one or more new documents in your browser, then packages them for download.

Important considerations

  • Page numbers are 1-based and refer to the visible page order.
  • Very large PDFs are limited only by your device’s memory.

Privacy

Your PDF is processed entirely in your browser. The file is never uploaded to a server, which makes this safe for confidential contracts, statements and personal documents.
