When to split a PDF
Three common reasons people reach for this tool.
- Sharing only a chapter. A 300-page report with one relevant section — split out pages 42-68 and send that.
- Email size limits. Splitting a big PDF into two or three smaller ones lets it through most mail gateways.
- Form distribution. One scanned packet contains 20 separate forms; split each one out for individual recipients.

Frequently asked
How do I specify page ranges?
Type ranges separated by commas, like '1-3, 5, 8-10'. Each range becomes one downloaded PDF. A single page like '5' produces a one-page file. Leave the field blank to download the whole document.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Splitting happens entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. Your file never leaves your device, and nothing about it is sent to a server.
Why are multiple files downloaded?
Each comma-separated range becomes its own PDF, so you can keep distinct sections of the source document as separate files. If you want a single output, list one range only.
