About Split PDF.
Split a PDF Into Separate Pages or Ranges
Upload a PDF and CipherForces PDF Splitter lets you visually select which pages become which output file. Extract single pages, chunk into ranges (e.g. pages 1-5 and 10-20 as separate PDFs), or split every page into its own file. Download individual PDFs or everything as a zip.
Common Use Cases
- Contract delivery: Send only pages 3-7 of a 50-page agreement to a counterparty.
- Scanned book chapters: Split a scanned book into one PDF per chapter.
- Invoice separation: Split a combined-PDF batch into one file per invoice.
- Academic papers: Extract just the charts/figures pages from a long research paper.
Key Features
- Visual page selector: Thumbnail grid — click to select, drag to build ranges.
- Custom ranges: Define multiple output PDFs in one pass (pages 1-5 → file A, pages 10-20 → file B).
- Batch export as zip: All output files packaged together.
- Preserves quality: No re-rendering; original page content is copied byte-for-byte.
Privacy: Splitting is done via pdf-lib running locally. Your PDF never leaves your device.
Frequently asked questions.
How do I split a PDF into separate pages?
Open the Split PDF tool, choose your file, and select how you want it divided: into individual pages or custom page ranges. Click split, and the tool generates the new PDFs right in your browser. Download each one, no software install or account required.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server when I split it?
No. The Split PDF tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file is processed on your own device and never leaves your computer or reaches any server. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or transmitted, which keeps confidential and sensitive documents private.
Can I extract just one section or a range of pages from a PDF?
Yes. Instead of breaking the file into single pages, you can specify a page range, such as pages 3 to 8, to pull out one section. The tool creates a separate PDF containing only those pages, leaving your original document untouched.
Does the Split PDF tool cost anything or require signup?
No. The Split PDF tool is completely free with no signup, account, or email required. Because all processing happens locally in your browser, there are no usage limits tied to a server. Open the page and start splitting your PDF immediately.
