About this tool
Sometimes you need pages 12 through 18 of a 300-page report, or one chapter per file for sharing. This splitter extracts exactly the pages you specify without the file ever leaving your machine. Drop in a PDF, see its page count, then enter ranges in the familiar print-dialog syntax — 1-3, 8, 12-15 — and get a new PDF containing just those pages, in the order you listed them. Split mode goes further: give it several ranges and it produces one file per range, packed into a zip for a single download. Page extraction copies pages rather than re-rendering them, so text stays selectable and vector graphics stay sharp. Validation catches typos like out-of-range pages before processing, with clear messages. Because it runs locally on pdf-lib, it is safe for the documents that most often need splitting — legal exhibits, financial statements, medical records — where uploading is simply not an option. No watermarks, no page limits, no account, no queue.

Frequently asked questions
What range syntax is supported?
The same as print dialogs: single pages, ranges with a dash, and comma-separated combinations like 1-3, 8, 12-15.
Does extraction preserve quality?
Yes. Pages are copied, not re-rendered, so text, fonts and vector graphics are identical to the original.
Are my documents uploaded?
No. All processing runs locally in your browser; the file never leaves your device.
Can it split encrypted PDFs?
Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first; the tool will tell you if a file cannot be opened.
