Splitting a PDF — cutting one file into two at a specific page — comes up whenever a single document actually contains two separate things: a cover letter attached ahead of a resume, or a long scanned book you only need part of.
Steps
- Open Split PDF and add your file.
- The tool shows how many pages the file has.
- Enter the page number to split after — for example, entering 5 on a 10-page file produces pages 1–5 and pages 6–10 as two separate downloads.
- Run it, and both parts download at once.
If you need more than two pieces
Split always cuts at a single point. For pulling out a specific, non-contiguous set of pages instead (say, just pages 2, 5, and 9), use Extract Pages instead — it takes a list like 2,5,9 or a range like 2,5-9 and keeps only those pages in one output file. For removing a handful of pages from an otherwise-intact document, Remove Pages does the reverse — you list what to delete, and everything else stays.
What actually happens
Like every tool here, splitting runs with pdf-lib loaded directly in your browser — the file is read into memory, copied into two new documents at the page you chose, and both download straight to your device. Nothing is uploaded to a server in the process.
