Frequently Asked Questions about PDF Splitter
Split a PDF Online — Five Modes, Zero Uploads
The PDF Splitter breaks any PDF into separate files using five flexible modes: selected pages, custom page ranges, chunks of N pages, maximum file size, and odd/even separation. Every page is shown as a clickable thumbnail so you can pick exactly what to extract. Because the split runs 100% client-side in a Web Worker, your document is never uploaded — making this the most private free PDF splitter online.
The Five Split Modes Explained
Selected Pages
Click thumbnails to choose individual pages; each selected page becomes its own PDF. Shift-click extends a range, and Select All/None buttons make bulk choice fast — perfect for extracting just a few pages to share.
Page Range
Enter ranges like 1-3,5,7-9 to extract specific pages. Useful for pulling a section, appendix, or selected chapters out of a larger document.
Every N Pages
Split into consecutive chunks of N pages per file. The classic way to separate a PDF into manageable chapters or batches for emailing.
By File Size & Odd/Even
By File Size groups pages into roughly equal parts targeting a maximum MB per file. Odd/Even separates pages into two PDFs — the traditional way to prepare double-sided printing or booklet layouts.
Tips for Splitting PDFs
- Metadata preservation — toggle "Preserve original document metadata" to carry the title, author, subject and keywords into each split file.
- Batch downloads — when more than one PDF is produced, all parts are bundled into a single ZIP for one-click download.
- Locked documents — password-protected PDFs are decrypted locally and split; your password never leaves your browser.
- Smaller files — if individual parts are larger than expected, use Every N Pages to keep related pages together instead of one page per file.
