When to split a PDF
A scan of an entire booklet when you only need page 7. A statement that bundles last year's invoices when the auditor only wants Q4. A receipt page hidden inside a 50-page PDF. Splitting lets you extract exactly the pages you need without sending the whole document to a third-party server.
Fileoholic's splitter copies pages byte-for-byte using the pdf-lib library. The output is identical in quality to the original, just smaller. Custom ranges let you build several output files in one pass — useful when you need to send different sections to different people.
Your files never leave your browser.
All processing runs locally on your device. No uploads, no tracking of file content.
FAQ
How do custom ranges work?
Use commas to separate ranges. Each range becomes one output PDF. Example: '1-3, 5, 8-10' creates three PDFs — one with pages 1-3, one with just page 5, and one with pages 8-10.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The split happens in your browser using the pdf-lib library. Nothing is sent to a server.
Can I split password-protected PDFs?
No. Encrypted PDFs need the password to unlock them, which is outside the scope of this tool.
What is the maximum file size?
50 MB per PDF.
Will the split preserve quality?
Yes. Pages are copied byte-for-byte from the original. No re-rendering, no quality loss.
