Split PDF
Need to break up a large PDF? This tool lets you separate multi-page documents into individual files or custom page ranges right in your browser. Just upload your PDF, choose your settings, and grab your files instantly. You have six different ways to manage your pages in one workspace: split every page, use custom ranges, extract or remove specific pages, rotate orientation, or even compress the file size. Everything happens locally on your device, so your sensitive documents never leave your computer.
Split PDF
Separates every page of your PDF into its own standalone file for individual distribution or filing.
Split by Range
Creates multiple output files from semicolon-separated page ranges for custom document grouping.
Extract Pages
Pulls selected pages into a brand new PDF document while leaving the original untouched.
Remove Pages
Deletes specified pages and downloads the remaining document with all other content preserved.
Rotate Pages
Turns pages by 90, 180, or 270 degrees with optional page selection for targeted rotation.
Compress PDF
Re-saves your document to remove unused objects and reduce file size without quality loss.
Online Split PDF with Page Range Support
Splitting a PDF starts with uploading your file. Drag it into the workspace or click the Upload button. Once loaded, the right panel shows a page-by-page preview with page numbers, and the left panel displays your file details along with the active tool options. The default Split PDF mode breaks every page into a separate download. For more control, switch to Split by Range and enter semicolon-separated groups like "1-3; 4-6; 7-10" to produce three distinct output files from a single upload.
Custom Page Ranges with Semicolons
The Split by Range tool accepts flexible input. Combine individual page numbers and hyphenated ranges within each group: "1,3,5; 6-10; 11" creates three separate PDFs. Each group downloads as its own file, labeled split-part-1.pdf, split-part-2.pdf, and so on. Pages can appear in multiple groups if you need overlapping content in different outputs.
Extract or Remove Specific Pages
Need just a few pages from a large document? The Extract Pages tool copies only the pages you specify into a new PDF. Enter "2, 5-8" and get a clean document with only those pages. The Remove Pages tool does the opposite: specify what to delete, and the remaining pages download as a trimmed file. Both tools accept the same comma-and-range input format.
Rotate and Compress PDF Pages
Scanned documents often arrive with pages in the wrong orientation. The Rotate Pages tool fixes this by turning selected pages by 90, 180, or 270 degrees. Choose which pages to rotate or leave the field empty to rotate the entire document. Rotation updates the page metadata without re-encoding content, so quality stays identical. The Compress PDF tool re-saves your document to strip unused objects and clean up the internal structure. Results vary based on the original file, but documents with redundant data or inefficient encoding often see meaningful size reduction.
Lossless Page Rotation
Unlike tools that rasterize pages during rotation, this tool modifies the rotation flag in the PDF metadata. Text remains selectable, vector graphics stay sharp, and embedded fonts are fully preserved. Your rotated PDF is functionally identical to the original, just oriented differently.
File Size Reduction Without Quality Loss
The compression feature copies all pages into a fresh PDF structure, eliminating orphaned objects, duplicate streams, and unused references that accumulate during editing. Already-optimized files may show minimal change, but documents that have been through multiple rounds of editing often have significant unused data that compression removes.
Free Split PDF for Students, Professionals, and Teams
Whether you need to break apart a textbook chapter, separate invoice pages for accounting, or trim a contract down to just the signature pages, this tool handles it in seconds. Full access to every splitting mode, page rotation, and compression is available immediately without creating an account. Every operation runs inside your browser using the pdf-lib library, so your documents, contracts, and sensitive files never leave your computer. Close the tab, and all session data disappears from memory.
No Signup, No Watermarks, No Limits
All six tools are available right away with no paywalls, no premium tiers, and no restrictions on file size or page count. Output files are clean and free of any branding or watermarks. Your browser handles the entire process, making it a fast and private alternative to cloud-based PDF services.
Client-Side Processing for Document Security
Your PDF files are processed entirely within your browser using JavaScript and the pdf-lib library. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or transmitted. This client-side approach makes the tool suitable for handling confidential documents like legal contracts, financial statements, medical records, and internal reports.
