Flexible PDF Page Extraction in Your Browser

Managing large documents shouldn't require complex software. Our tool leverages the PDF-Lib engine to handle document partitioning directly on your device. Whether you need to pull a single invoice from a monthly report or divide a 100-page manual into individual files, we provide a secure, lag-free experience without compromising your sensitive data. Processing happens entirely in your browser memory.

How to Split a PDF File

Files up to 100MB are typically handled with ease by modern browsers.

2. Choose Split Mode

Select 'Extract' to pull specific ranges into one new file, or 'Split All' to create separate files for every page.

Use page ranges like '1, 3-5' to grab exactly what you need.

3. Download Result

Click the action button to save your new PDF or a ZIP archive containing all pages.

Single extractions download as a .pdf; bulk splits are neatly zipped.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is it safe to split sensitive documents here? ▼
Yes. Because the splitting happens in your browser's local memory, no one—not even us—can see your content.
Q. Can I extract non-sequential pages? ▼
Absolutely. You can enter a range like '2, 5, 10-15' to get exactly those pages in a single file.
Q. Will the quality of my PDF decrease? ▼
No. We copy existing page data directly without re-compressing, so the text and image quality remain identical.
Q. Does this work on mobile devices? ▼
Yes, it is fully optimized for Android and iOS browsers, though very large files may consume significant mobile memory.
