What is it?Split PDF is a PDFLean page organization tool: Extract pages by range, or split every N pages, per page, or into N parts.
TL;DR: Extract pages by range, or split every N pages, per page, or into N parts. Processing runs entirely in your browser — your file is never uploaded.
Measured: ~23 ms median on a typical sample — full benchmark table below.
This tool splits one PDF into several outputs by page ranges or fixed page counts. Processing runs entirely in your browser — the file is never uploaded, and no account is required. The output is a set of PDF files, one per range or chunk, packaged into a single ZIP for download. Key limitation: splitting works on page structure only — it cannot cut inside a page or split by bookmarks; for bookmark-based chapter splitting use the dedicated bookmark tool.
About this tool
This tool does one job and does it entirely on your device. Extract pages from a PDF by range. Processing runs locally in your browser's memory — the document is never transmitted, and closing the tab clears it completely. The workflow is deliberately short: load the file, choose the options on the page, run the operation, and save the result. Every choice is applied before the file is written, so re-running with different settings takes seconds. It pairs well with the related tools linked beside this page when one step is not the whole job. Key facts — Processing: runs entirely in your browser, client-side; Access: free with no account required; Privacy: the file never leaves the device.

FAQ
Will my file be uploaded?
No. Processing runs entirely in your browser — your file is never uploaded, and closing the page clears it immediately.
When should I use this?
Four split modes — by range, every N pages, per page, or into N parts — ideal when you don't want to install software or upload files.
Will my original file be modified?
No. The tool reads your file and produces a new one — the original stays untouched.
Can I process multiple files in bulk?
A single tool page handles one task at a time; for bulk work use the Batch Processing workflow and add this tool as a step to run a whole set at once.
Is the processed file still editable?
The output is a reorganized new PDF; the original stays intact and you can re-run as many times as you like.
