Split PDF

Cut a PDF into parts by page ranges, or save each page on its own. The split runs on your machine with pdf-lib, so the document is never uploaded.

Split PDF Online: Extract Pages with Precision and Ease

Managing large PDF documents can be overwhelming when you only need a specific chapter, a single invoice, or a handful of pages. Splitting a PDF allows you to break down massive files into smaller, more manageable segments. Whether you're dividing an ebook into chapters or separating sensitive documents for different recipients, a professional PDF splitter is essential for digital organization. TotalPDF Kit provides a robust solution for extracting individual pages or splitting your document into multiple smaller PDFs. Our engine ensures that the resulting files maintain the original resolution, formatting, and interactive elements.

Object Extraction and Tree Reconstruction

Splitting a PDF involves more than just cutting code; it requires a surgical reconstruction of the internal tree: 1. Object Analysis: Our system identifies which fonts, images, and content streams belong to each page to ensure no data is lost during the split. 2. Root Dictionary Reconstruction: Each new PDF fragment receives its own Catalog and Pages root, making it a fully functional, independent document. 3. Size Optimization: We clean up orphaned objects—data from pages not included in the split—keeping the final files as light and efficient as the original.

Total Control Over Your Pages

Extraction Modes: Custom ranges or fixed intervals to suit your needs.

Blazing Fast: Process hundreds of pages in the blink of an eye.

Nothing to upload: the file is split inside your browser, so it never reaches a server of ours.

Frequently Asked Questions about PDF Splitting

Clearing up your doubts about page extraction.

Can I split several files at once?
No. The tool takes one document at a time. For a second PDF, drop it when the first is done: the split runs in your browser, so it costs you a click, not a wait in a queue.
Will I lose quality when splitting a PDF?
No. The splitting process is non-destructive. The streams of text and images are copied exactly as they are in the original source.
What is the maximum file size I can upload?
Nothing is uploaded, so there is no server limit to hit: the ceiling is your browser's memory, not a plan. An account changes nothing here.
Are the links in my PDF preserved?
Yes, internal links that point to pages within the same split fragment will continue to work perfectly.
How long are my split files stored?
There is nothing to delete. The split happens inside this tab with pdf.js, so the file never reaches a server of ours and no copy is ever made. Close the tab and it is gone.
