Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the two split modes?
The first mode creates one PDF per page. The range mode creates one PDF for each range you enter, for example 1-3, 4-6 and 7-10.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Splitting runs entirely in your browser, so your document stays on your device.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied exactly - nothing is re-rendered or compressed.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Protected files must be unlocked first with the password in a PDF reader, because the protection blocks page copying.

How it works
Splitting here never redraws a page. The tool loads your PDF locally with pdf-lib and, for each output file, takes a complete copy of the document and removes every page that does not belong in that part - so the pages that remain are the originals, bit for bit, with text, images and quality untouched. In 'Every page' mode there is one part per page; in ranges mode, each range you type (such as 1-3 or 4-6) becomes one part. Parts are saved as yourfile-part1.pdf, yourfile-part2.pdf and so on, each with its own download link. Nothing is uploaded - the copies are made in your browser.
Worked example
A teacher has a 40-page course reader PDF but her class only needs it in three chunks. She chooses Split by page ranges and types 1-10, 11-25, 26-40. Three links appear - reader-part1.pdf with the first ten pages, reader-part2.pdf and reader-part3.pdf - and she shares one part per week instead of the whole heavy file.
Frequently asked questions
Do I get all the parts in one ZIP file?
No. Each part appears as its own download link and is saved separately - there is no ZIP option. Click each link in turn; your browser may ask permission to download multiple files.
Can the same page appear in more than one part?
Yes. Every range is copied independently from the original document, so ranges may overlap freely - page 5 can be in both part 1 and part 2 if your ranges say so.
Can I pull pages 2, 5 and 9 into a single file?
Not directly: in ranges mode each comma-separated entry becomes its own file, so 2, 5, 9 would give you three one-page PDFs. To combine separate pages into one document, split them out first and then join them with our Merge PDF tool.
What are the output files named?
They keep your original file's name with -part and a number added: splitting contract.pdf gives contract-part1.pdf, contract-part2.pdf, and so on, in the order of your ranges.
Can I split a scanned PDF?
Yes. Splitting copies whole pages exactly as they are, without reading their content, so scanned and image-only documents split just as well as text documents.
Will the parts add up to the original file size?
Usually a little more in total: shared items such as fonts are stored inside each part file, so a document split into many parts duplicates some overhead. Each individual part is still much smaller than the original.
