About Split PDF
The **Split PDF** tool empowers you to extract specific pages from a PDF document or divide it entirely into multiple files. Engineered for privacy, all complex PDF manipulation executes entirely inside your browser's local sandbox—no file ever leaves your device.
How to Use
Real-World Examples
Extracting Invoices from a Monthly Report
Upload a 100-page monthly report, enter custom page ranges (e.g., `12-15, 34-35`) for specific invoices, and download them instantly as clean, separated PDF documents.
Bursting a PDF into Individual Pages
Select 'Extract every page' to automatically burst a large document into hundreds of single-page PDFs, packaged conveniently into a downloadable ZIP.
Best Practices
- Use the visual page grid to select pages if you aren't exactly sure which page numbers you need. It supports lazy loading, so even massive PDFs scroll smoothly.
- Keep 'Preserve Metadata' checked if the author and title of the original document are important for your extracted files.
Pro Tips
Use the zoom slider on the visual grid to quickly switch between large detailed previews and a dense overview of your entire document.
If you want to merge multiple extracted sections back into a single document, use the **Selected pages into one file** mode.
