What this tool does

Split a PDF into separate files using ranges such as 1-3, 4-6, 9. Each resulting PDF is packaged in one ZIP download in your browser.

The source is parsed locally, the requested page or optimization operation is applied, and a new PDF or ZIP Blob is created for download.

Complex forms, annotations, embedded files, signatures, and encrypted PDFs may not be preserved by browser-based rewriting.

Supported formats

Input must be a standard PDF that can be opened without a password. The output is PDF, except split operations which return a ZIP containing PDF files.

Tips for better results

  • Keep a backup of the source PDF before rewriting it.
  • Check small text and page orientation in the downloaded result.
  • For very large documents, close other tabs to free browser memory.

FAQ

Why does the download use a ZIP file?

A split operation creates several PDFs, so the tool packages all parts into one reliable browser download.

Can page ranges overlap?

Yes. If ranges overlap, the repeated pages will appear in more than one output PDF.

How are page numbers counted?

Pages are counted from 1, matching the usual numbering shown by PDF viewers.

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

Not when the PDF requires a password. Decrypt it with permission before processing.

Does splitting reduce PDF quality?

No page rendering is performed. Existing PDF pages are copied into new documents.
