What is Split PDF?

The Split PDF tool extracts selected page ranges from a PDF and saves each range as a separate file. It is the fastest way to pull one chapter out of an ebook, separate a single invoice from a monthly bundle, or break a long scanned document into smaller, shareable parts. You describe the pages you want - for example 1-3, 5, 8-10 - and the tool creates a new PDF for each range, instantly, inside your browser. No software to install and no files uploaded anywhere.

How to Use the Split PDF Tool

1. Upload your PDF: Drag the file into the upload box or click to browse. The tool reads it and shows the total page count.
2. Enter page ranges: Type the ranges you want, such as 1-3, 5, 8-10. Each comma-separated range becomes its own output file.
3. Split: Click the split button. The tool extracts exactly those pages into brand-new PDF files.
4. Download: Each extracted file gets its own download button, clearly labelled with its page range.

Key Benefits

• Precise extraction: Flexible range syntax lets you grab discontinuous pages (1-3, 5, 8-10) in a single pass instead of splitting repeatedly.
• 100% private: Processing happens entirely in your browser with the pdf-lib engine. Your document is never uploaded to FistHost or any server.
• Lossless quality: Extracted pages are copied without re-rendering, so text, images and layout stay pixel-identical to the original.
• Free with no limits: No account, no watermark and no daily quota. Split as many documents as you need.
• Instant results: No queue, no email delivery, no waiting - your files are ready the moment the split finishes.

FAQs

What page-range format is accepted? Use numbers and dashes separated by commas, e.g. 1-3, 5, 8-10. Ranges must fall within the document's actual page count.

Will the extracted files keep the original quality? Yes. Pages are copied losslessly, so fonts, images and vector graphics are unchanged.

Can I split a password-protected PDF? Encrypted PDFs are not supported. Unlock the file first, then split it.

Is there a maximum PDF size? No artificial cap - only your device's memory limits very large files.

Split PDF Tips

Plan your ranges: Write down the ranges first for long documents - e.g. 1-5, 6-12, 13-20 for three chapters. Combine with merge: Extract the pages you want from several PDFs, then join the extracts into one custom document.
