Split PDFs for free — no software, no upload

Splitting PDFs is useful for extracting specific chapters, removing pages, or sharing individual pages. Our offline PDF splitter uses pdf-lib.js to split PDFs entirely in your browser.

The PDF is loaded into browser memory — not uploaded to any server. Extract each page as a separate PDF, or specify a page range. Download individual PDFs or all pages as a ZIP archive.
