🧠 How It Works – PDF Splitter Tool

Our PDF Splitter is a powerful yet easy-to-use tool that works 100% inside your browser. Follow these simple steps to split your PDF using any of the available advanced modes:


1. Upload Your PDF File

  • Simply drag and drop your PDF file into the tool, or click the upload box to browse from your device.
  • The tool instantly reads the file locally (no server upload), so your data stays private and secure.

2. Preview All Pages (Real-Time Thumbnail View)

  • Once uploaded, the tool generates thumbnail previews of all PDF pages.
  • You can scroll, click, and select pages visually, which makes it easier to decide how you want to split the file.

3. Choose Your Preferred Split Mode

You can split your PDF in six different ways, depending on your need:

🟢 A. Custom Page Ranges

  • Enter ranges like: 1-3,5,7-9 to extract specific parts of the PDF.
  • You’ll get a single PDF with only those selected pages.
  • Useful when you only need certain sections (e.g., a chapter or report section).

🔵 B. Equal Parts

  • Automatically split your PDF into equal-sized parts.
  • Example: If you select “3 parts” for a 12-page PDF, you’ll get 3 PDFs with 4 pages each.
  • Best for large documents you want to divide evenly.

🟡 C. Split by File Size

  • Define a maximum size limit (e.g., 5MB), and the tool will create PDFs under that limit.
  • Ideal for sharing over email or messaging apps with file size restrictions.

🟣 D. Pages per File

  • Select how many pages each output PDF should contain (e.g., 2 pages per file).
  • For example: a 10-page PDF with this option set to 2 will generate 5 files of 2 pages each.
  • Useful for organizing or printing in batches.

🟤 E. Split into Individual Pages

  • Instantly extract every page as its own separate PDF file.
  • A 10-page PDF will generate 10 one-page PDFs.
  • Great for reviewing, annotating, or sharing page by page.

🔴 F. Selected Pages as Separate PDFs

  • Click and select any pages you want.
  • Each selected page will be saved as its own PDF file (e.g., page 1 → file 1.pdf, page 5 → file 5.pdf).
  • Useful when you need to send or organize specific pages individually.

4. Customize Output Settings

After choosing your split mode, you can fine-tune your output:

🧾 File Naming Options

  • Use dynamic patterns like {base}-{index} or {base}-{range} to control how each output file is named.
  • Example: MyPDF-1-3.pdf, MyPDF-4-6.pdf, etc.

📦 ZIP Download (Optional)

  • Toggle “Download as ZIP” to receive all your split files in a single ZIP archive.
  • Perfect for batch sharing or archiving.

🛡️ Metadata & Quality Preservation

  • All split files retain the original document quality.
  • PDF metadata like author, title, etc., is also preserved unless you choose to strip it.

5. Click the “Split PDF” Button

  • Once all settings are configured, hit the “Split PDF” button.
  • The tool quickly processes the file entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly (WASM).
  • No waiting, no server delay, no data leaves your device.
