Split PDF
Extract a range of pages from a PDF into a new file, in your browser.
Split a PDF by picking the pages you want
This PDF splitter lets you keep just the pages you need. Type a page range such as
1-3,5,8-10, and the tool copies exactly those pages — in that order — into a brand new
PDF. Everything happens with pdf-lib inside your browser, so the file is never uploaded
and nothing is stored anywhere.
How to write a page range
Use single page numbers and dashes for spans, separated by commas: 1-3,5,8-10 keeps
pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10. The tool shows how many pages the source PDF has and checks that every
page you ask for actually exists before it builds the new file.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write the page range?
Use numbers and dashes separated by commas, for example 1-3,5,8-10. Single pages and ranges can be mixed freely.
What if I enter a page that does not exist?
The tool checks your range against the PDF page count and tells you if a page is out of bounds, so nothing invalid is written.
Is my PDF uploaded to split it?
No. Splitting runs entirely in your browser with pdf-lib; your PDF never leaves your device and no server sees or stores it.
Does the split keep the original quality?
Yes. The chosen pages are copied exactly, so text stays selectable and images keep their resolution — there is no re-compression.
