How to split a PDF
Drop in a PDF
A single PDF. Pages, size, and metadata are parsed locally.
Pick a split mode
Ranges for custom groupings, Every-N for fixed-size chunks, or Burst for one page per file.
Set ranges or N
Ranges accept comma-separated lists like 1-3,5,7-9. Every-N takes a positive integer.
Click Split
You get a ZIP if multiple outputs, or a single PDF if only one range was specified.
Frequently asked questions
No. Splitting happens entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. The bytes never leave your device.
No. Remove the password in your PDF reader first, then split.
Yes. pdf-lib copies entire page objects, so embedded fonts, images, annotations, and form fields are kept intact in each split.
Numbers above the page count are clipped to the last page. Numbers below 1 are clipped to 1.
A ZIP is the cleanest way to deliver multiple files in one download. If you only need one range, you get a single .pdf directly.
About PDF splitting
Splitting a PDF means copying selected pages into a new document, preserving the underlying content streams, fonts, and images. pdf-lib handles this at the PDF-object level, so each output is a complete, standalone PDF — not a "view" of the original.
Modes
- Custom ranges — define exactly which pages go into each output file.
- Every N pages — useful for chapters of consistent length, or batches of forms.
- Burst — one page, one file. Great for archival systems that index by single page.
