How to use Split PDF?

  1. Select a PDF (or drag and drop it into the tool).
  2. Choose a split mode: Range (custom or fixed chunks), Pages (one PDF per page), or Size (N pages per file).
  3. In Range → Custom, set page ranges and use “Add range” for non-consecutive sections. Optionally merge all ranges into one PDF.
  4. Click Split PDF and download the ZIP containing your new PDFs.

FAQs

Yes. Split PDF runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and pdf-lib. Your PDF is read and split on your device—there is no upload to PaperStack and no server-side processing.
No. PaperStack Split PDF is always local. There is no toggle and no server option: your file never leaves your device for splitting, which is ideal for confidential documents.
Yes. Use Range → Custom and add multiple ranges—for example one range for page 1, another for pages 5–7, and another for page 12. You can output each range as its own PDF or use “Merge all ranges in one PDF file” when you want those pages combined into a single document.
There is no fixed page cap in the tool. Very large PDFs use more memory in your browser, so performance depends on your device. You can split a single page, long documents, or many parts as needed.
No. Pages are copied from your original file; text, images, fonts, and layout stay as in the source PDF.
Strong encryption or passwords can block loading. If splitting fails, try unlocking the PDF first with PaperStack’s Unlock PDF tool, then split the unlocked file.
No. Splitting happens locally in your browser. PaperStack does not store, analyze, or keep your PDFs on our systems.
You need an internet connection the first time to load the site and scripts. After the page and libraries are loaded, you can often continue splitting without a connection, depending on your browser and cache.
Yes. Like the rest of PaperStack, it’s free to use with no sign-up required.
