About PDF Splitter

Remove pages from PDF in your browser for free. Enter the page numbers to remove and download the cleaned PDF instantly. No signup or server upload required.

PDF Splitter is a free browser-based tool for extracting specific pages or page ranges from any PDF file. Instead of downloading the entire document when only a portion is needed, users upload the PDF, type a page range in a flexible format such as "1-3,5,8-10", and download a new PDF containing only those pages. The original file is never modified. This tool is used by professionals who need to distribute specific sections of larger documents: extracting a single chapter from a textbook, pulling one invoice from a multi-page billing export, sharing relevant contract pages with a specific party, or separating meeting minutes from a combined quarterly document. PDF Splitter runs entirely in the browser using pdf-lib, meaning no file is ever sent to a server. There are no file size restrictions beyond available browser memory, and no account or installation is required. The extracted PDF preserves all original fonts, images, and formatting from the source pages. As part of a broader workflow, PDF Merger can combine multiple PDFs into a single document, PDF Rotate can rotate PDF page orientation, and PDF to Images can convert PDF pages to PNG or JPG images.

PDF Splitter supports a flexible page range syntax that makes it straightforward to describe complex extractions in a single input. A range like "1, 3-5, 8, 10-12" extracts pages 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, and 12 in a single operation, which covers the majority of real-world use cases without requiring multiple passes. This is particularly useful when working with combined export files from accounting software, HR systems, or document management platforms that bundle multiple records into a single PDF. Rather than manually re-exporting individual records, users can extract the relevant pages directly. Because the tool processes files entirely in the browser, it is safe to use with confidential documents. No data is transmitted to any server at any point. For workflows that involve both splitting and recombining, PDF Splitter pairs naturally with PDF Merger: extract the specific pages you need from multiple source documents, then combine the extracted sets into a new composite PDF. The resulting file is a standard PDF compatible with all PDF viewers. The tool works across all modern browsers on desktop and mobile without installation.
