Split PDF

When to use Split PDF

A client sends a 60-page contract and you need to share only the two-page scope-of-work section with a subcontractor. Upload the full document here, click the page thumbnails for the pages you want, and pdf-lib writes a new PDF containing only that selection on your own computer. The original file on your hard drive is never touched — you are creating a separate extracted copy. This is also the move when an upload portal enforces a 5 MB file limit and your full report is 22 MB: trim it to the relevant chapter and it fits. You can split out a single page or a range, download multiple separate files in one session.

• Share just the scope-of-work pages from a 60-page contract
• Extract one chapter from a textbook PDF for annotation
• Trim a report to fit a portal's 5 MB file-size limit

About this tool

Pull exactly the pages you need out of a larger PDF — without touching the original. Upload a report, a scanned book chapter, or a batch of invoices, click the page thumbnails you want to keep, and download a new PDF with just those pages. Useful when a collaborator only needs section three of a 60-page spec, when you're extracting one chapter from a book for annotation, or when an online form has a hard file-size limit you can solve by trimming pages. Nothing is uploaded — splitting runs in this browser tab with no server involved.
