The split PDF tool divides a PDF into smaller files so you can share, archive, or edit only the pages you need. Extract one chapter, pull out a signed page, or break a scan into separate documents.
What This Tool Does
PDF splitting copies selected pages from a source file into new PDF documents. You can extract a continuous page range — for example pages 5 through 12 — or split every page into its own file delivered as a ZIP archive.
Processing uses pdf-lib locally in your browser. The original file on disk is never modified; you always download new output files while keeping your source intact.

- Split every page into individual PDF files
- ZIP download when splitting all pages

Privacy and Security
Your PDF is read and processed in browser memory only. Page data is never transmitted to XConverters servers for splitting. This is ideal for legal, medical, and financial documents that must remain on-premises or on your personal device.
No cloud copy: We do not store split outputs or source files. Once you download and close the tab, the session data is discarded.
Anonymous analytics may record that the tool was used, but not the contents or titles of your documents.
Tips for Best Results
- Confirm total page count in your viewer before entering range values.
- Use range mode when you need one continuous section; use per-page mode for maximum flexibility.
- Large PDFs with hundreds of pages may take longer and produce sizable ZIP files.
- Verify the output immediately after download to ensure correct pages were extracted.
- Keep a backup of the original PDF until you confirm the split meets your needs.
