Free PDF splitter — extract pages or split every page

Toololis PDF Splitter extracts pages from PDFs in your browser. Specify exact page ranges (e.g., 1-3, 5, 7-9) to combine into one PDF, or split into one file per page. Powered by pdf-lib — 100% client-side.

How to use this tool

  1. 1

    Upload a PDF

    Drop a PDF file or tap to browse. The page count appears as soon as the file loads.

  2. 2

    Choose split mode

    "Every page" creates one PDF per page. "Page ranges" lets you specify exact pages like "1-3, 5, 7-9".

Frequently Asked Questions

How does PDF splitting work?
We use the pdf-lib library to parse your PDF and extract specified pages as separate PDF files. Pages are copied exactly — text, images, bookmarks, and annotations all preserved.
What page range syntax works?
Comma-separated ranges like 1-3, 5, 7-9, 15. You can also use open ranges like 5- (page 5 to end) or -3 (start to page 3).
Are my PDFs uploaded?
No. Splitting runs entirely in your browser. Safe for sensitive contracts, medical records, legal filings.
Can I extract specific pages as one PDF?
Yes — specify the pages you want (e.g., "5, 10-15, 20") and they'll all be combined into a single extracted PDF.
What's the size limit?
Around 100-200 MB works well. Larger PDFs may slow down the browser but usually still complete.
Does it work with password-protected PDFs?
Unlock in a viewer first (print to PDF as unlocked copy), then split here. Encrypted PDFs cannot be read by the browser-based library.

Why Use PDF Splitter?

You should try PDF Splitter for a quick, private way to extract pages or split pdf into parts. All processing happens in your browser. Your files and data never leave your device. According to web.dev, client-side processing is the gold standard for privacy.

On the other hand, dedicated APIs or desktop tools suit batch processing better. They also handle server-side automation. For everyday tasks, browser tools offer the best speed, privacy, and convenience.
