Split a PDF by page ranges, extract specific pages, or burst into individual files. Runs in your browser.
Extract ranges — pull selected pages into a new PDF. Every N pages — chop into equal chunks (great for breaking up large books). Burst — one new PDF per page.
Splitting a PDF is usually about isolating the part that's actually needed rather than sending an entire document. Someone might pull just the signature page out of a 40-page contract to send for a quick e-signature, or extract a single chapter from a scanned textbook for a study group without sharing the whole book. Office workers commonly split a large scanned batch — say, a stack of employee forms scanned together as one file — back into individual per-person documents using burst mode, since scanners rarely produce pre-separated files. Extracting a specific page range is useful when only an appendix or a set of exhibits from a legal filing needs to be shared, without exposing the rest of the document. It's also a practical way to shrink a file that's too large to email — splitting a bulky report into two or three smaller PDFs rather than fighting an attachment size limit. Because splitting happens locally in the browser, there's no upload step and no wait for a server to process a large file, which matters when working with confidential or lengthy documents.
Yes — specify individual pages or page ranges to extract, rather than splitting the entire document.
Either — split into individual single-page files, or define ranges to group pages into multiple output files.
No — splitting runs entirely in your browser; the file never leaves your device.
