What range format should I use?

Comma-separated pages and spans, for example 1-3, 7, 10-12. Each entry becomes its own output PDF, so that example produces three files.

How do I get one page out of a PDF?

Switch to custom ranges and type the single page number, e.g. 5. You will get a one-page PDF to download.

Is the split PDF quality reduced?

No. Pages are copied without re-encoding, so quality is identical to the source.

Split PDF

Break a long PDF into individual pages, or pull out just the ranges you need. Multiple outputs are packed into a ZIP for you.

Range syntax handles single pages and spans in one expression.
Each output keeps the original page quality and text layer.
ZIP packaging is generated locally — no server round trip.

Privacy & limitations

Split PDF runs entirely inside your browser using the File, Canvas and Web Worker APIs. Your file is never uploaded to a server, never stored, and never logged. Closing the tab removes everything from memory.

Ranges outside the document's page count are reported as an error.
Encrypted PDFs must be unlocked before splitting.
