Frequently Asked Questions
How do I format the custom page range?
You can use a combination of single pages and ranges, separated by commas. For example:
• `1` (Extracts only the first page)
• `3-5` (Extracts pages 3, 4, and 5)
• `1, 5, 10-12` (Extracts pages 1, 5, 10, 11, and 12)
Can I split a PDF into multiple separate files?
This tool is designed to extract a selection of pages into a *single new PDF*. To create multiple separate files (e.g., one file per page), you would need to run the process multiple times, selecting a different page or range each time.
Is this process secure?
Yes, 100% secure. This tool uses the `pdf-lib.js` library to modify your PDF directly in your web browser. Your files are never uploaded to any server, guaranteeing your privacy and data security.
Your Digital Scissors: A Guide to Our Secure PDF Splitter
Large, multi-page PDF documents can be unwieldy. Whether you need to share a single chapter from a textbook, submit just the signed page of a contract, or extract key slides from a presentation, our free PDF Splitter is the perfect tool for the job. It’s designed to be a fast, precise, and completely secure way to carve out exactly what you need from any PDF document.
The Power of Precision: Two Modes for Total Control
Our tool offers two powerful modes to give you complete control over the splitting process, catering to different needs and workflows:
- Extract Pages (The Visual Mode): This is the most intuitive way to split your PDF. After uploading, you'll see a thumbnail preview of every single page. Simply click on the pages you want to keep. They will be highlighted, and all other pages will be discarded. This is perfect when you need to select a handful of non-consecutive pages, like pages 2, 7, and 15 from a report.
- Split by Range (The Power User Mode): When you know exactly which pages you need, this is the fastest method. Simply type the page numbers or ranges into the text box (e.g., `1-10, 15, 20-22`). This mode is ideal for extracting entire chapters or specific sections from a document with a known structure.
Regardless of the mode you choose, the tool will combine your selected pages into a brand new, lightweight PDF, ready for you to download.
Why Split PDFs? Common Use Cases
- Easier Sharing: Sending a 50MB report via email is impractical. Extracting the two essential pages creates a small, easily shareable file.
- Better Organization: Break down a large, single-year financial report into 12 separate monthly documents.
- Increased Focus: Provide colleagues or clients with only the relevant information they need, eliminating the noise of unnecessary pages.
The Unbreakable Security Promise: Your Documents Are Never Uploaded
When you're dealing with sensitive contracts, financial reports, or personal documents, privacy is paramount. Many online PDF tools require you to upload your files to their servers, creating a potential security risk. Our PDF Splitter is fundamentally different.
The entire process—from reading your original PDF to creating the new split document—happens locally on your computer, inside your web browser. We use powerful JavaScript libraries like `pdf-lib.js` and `pdf.js` to perform all operations on your device. Your file is never transmitted over the internet, and its contents are never stored on an external server. This client-side approach guarantees that your information remains 100% private and secure.
