The private way to split a PDF
Splitting a PDF means copying selected pages into new documents. Most online splitters upload your file first; this one uses pdf-lib to do it inside your browser tab, so a bank statement or signed contract never touches a server. Drop the PDF, tell it which pages you want, and download the parts.
Two ways to split
- Custom ranges — type
1-3, 5, 8-10and get three PDFs: pages 1–3, page 5, and pages 8–10. - Every page separately — turn an N-page document into N single-page PDFs in one click.
What carries across
Page content, embedded fonts, images, and links copy cleanly. Document-level bookmarks and some interactive form logic may not survive, because each output is a brand-new PDF. Need to recombine parts later? Use Merge PDF. Just want to drop a few pages? Use Delete Pages.
Frequently asked
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. Splitting is done by pdf-lib inside your browser tab. The file never leaves your device, and it works with Wi-Fi off after the page loads.
How do I enter page ranges?
Use commas and dashes, for example 1-3, 5, 8-10. Each range becomes one output PDF, in the order you list them.
Can I split an encrypted PDF?
Only if it has no open password. Remove the password first, then split.
Do bookmarks and form fields survive?
Page content, links, and most annotations carry across. Document-level bookmarks and some interactive features may not, since each part is a fresh PDF.
