Split PDF
Extract or remove pages from a PDF, or split it into separate files by page range. 100% local.
How to use this tool
- Drop a PDF into the dropzone.
- Choose a mode: extract range, split all pages, or remove pages.
- Type the pages (e.g. 1-5 or 2,7-9).
- Click Split and download the PDF or ZIP.
How it works
PDF-lib reads the source PDF and builds a new document from only the pages you chose, copying each page object into the output.
Tips
- Preview the page count in your PDF reader before choosing ranges.
- For removing many scattered pages, list them comma-separated.
Limitations
Very large source files keep the entire document in memory during splitting.
