Your files never leave your device

All processing happens in your browser. Nothing is transmitted to a server.

How it works

  1. Open your PDF

    Drop a PDF onto the page or browse to choose one. Processing stays in your browser — the file is never uploaded to a server.

  2. Choose a split mode

    Extract pages, split into singles, split every N pages, or delete pages. Enter ranges like 1-3, 5, 8-10 when needed.

  3. Download your files

    Run the split and download the result. Multiple outputs arrive as one ZIP. Nothing is stored on our side.

Four practical ways to split a PDF

People say “split PDF” when they mean several different jobs. Sometimes you only need pages 3–7 of a long packet. Sometimes you want every page as its own file for a slide deck or photo workflow. Sometimes a scanner produced one huge PDF and you need chunks of a fixed length. And sometimes the problem is the opposite: a few blank or wrong pages should be removed while the rest stays together. PDF Master Lab covers those cases with four modes so you do not have to switch tools mid-task.

Extract selected pages is the everyday choice for pulling a chapter or an appendix. Split into single pages is ideal when each page must travel alone. Split every N pages helps when email size limits or print workflows need regular breaks. Delete selected pages is useful when you want one cleaned document rather than a pile of extracts. In every mode, page ranges use a simple pattern such as 1-3, 5, 8-10, and multiple outputs download as one ZIP.

Because the split runs entirely in your browser, confidential pages never transit through our servers. That matters when the PDF contains personal data, client work or internal figures. You still remain responsible for how you use and redistribute the pages you create, including copyright and confidentiality obligations. If you later need those pieces in one file again, Merge PDF can reassemble them — still without an upload step.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write a page range?
Use commas for single pages and hyphens for inclusive ranges. For example, 1-3, 5, 8-10 selects pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10. Spaces are fine. Page numbers start at 1 and must fall within the document’s page count.
What is the difference between extract and delete?
Extract selected pages builds a new PDF that contains only the pages you listed. Delete selected pages builds a new PDF with those pages removed and everything else kept. Both modes run locally in your browser without uploading the file.
When should I use split every N pages?
Use it when you need regular chunks — for example, every 2 pages for duplex print jobs, or every 10 pages for smaller email attachments. You set the chunk size, and the tool produces sequential files covering the whole document.
Why do I get a ZIP file?
When a mode produces more than one PDF, the results are packed into a single ZIP so you can download everything in one click. Opening the ZIP in your operating system reveals the individual PDF files ready to use or send.
Is my original PDF changed on disk?
No. The tool reads a copy in the browser and writes new output files for download. Your original file on disk stays untouched unless you choose to replace it yourself after downloading.
Is splitting free and private?
Yes. The splitter is free with no sign-up. Your PDF never leaves your device during processing. We do not receive the file, and we do not keep a copy after you close the tab.
