How PDF splitting works

PDF splitting copies selected pages into new PDF files.
Extracting pages creates one smaller PDF from selected pages.
Splitting every page creates multiple one-page PDFs.
Page ranges control which pages are included.
The original PDF remains unchanged.
The edited output is saved as new PDF files.

Split modes, page ranges, and extracted documents explained

Extract selected pages is best for saving only needed pages.
Split every page is best when each page should become its own file.
Custom ranges create separate documents from groups of pages.
Fixed-size chunks split long PDFs into equal page groups.
Remove selected pages creates a cleaned document without unwanted pages.
Page order matters for the final output.

File size, page count, security, and compatibility notes

Large PDFs may take longer and use more browser memory.
Password-protected or encrypted PDFs may not split.
Corrupted PDFs may fail validation.
Digital signatures may be invalidated after splitting.
Forms, annotations, bookmarks, layers, and metadata may not be preserved unless explicitly supported.
Keep the original file before editing important documents.

Privacy and local processing notes

This implementation uses browser-side PDF splitting with pdf-lib. The selected PDF is processed locally on your device, no account is required, and the generated split PDFs are created locally for download. Avoid selecting sensitive PDFs unless you trust the device and browser, and keep the original file before editing.
