Split PDF
Split PDF handles one task — extract a page range as a new pdf — without an account or a download. Pages are read and rewritten inside your browser with the PDF-lib engine, so the document never travels to a server and nothing is stored after you close the tab. It is used most by accountants and admin staff preparing invoices, statements and signed contracts. Works comfortably with documents up to roughly 100 MB; larger files depend on the memory your browser has free. Free, unlimited, and free of the upsells most tools of this kind carry.
Key features

- Built to do one job properly rather than twenty jobs badly.
How to use Split PDF
- Add your PDF: Drag the file onto the drop area, or click it to browse your device. Several files can be added at once where the tool supports it.
- Set the options: Choose page ranges, order or output settings. The preview updates so you can confirm before committing.
- Download the result: Press the action button and the finished PDF saves straight to your downloads folder.
Frequently asked questions
- Will Split PDF reduce the quality of my pages? — No. Split PDF copies pages at their original resolution and keeps embedded fonts and images untouched, unless you deliberately choose a compression option.
- Does Split PDF upload my document anywhere? — No. Split PDF opens the PDF with JavaScript inside your own browser tab. The file is never sent to a server, which is why it also works with confidential contracts and medical or legal paperwork.
- Can Split PDF open a password-protected PDF? — Not while it is encrypted. Remove the password in the app that created the file first, then the tool can read it normally.
- What is the largest file Split PDF can handle? — There is no hard limit set by us — the practical ceiling is your device's memory. Documents up to about 100 MB are routine; several-hundred-megabyte scans may be slow on an older phone.
