What is the PDF Splitter & Page Extractor?

This tool extracts specific pages, custom ranges, or separates all pages from a multi-page PDF into independent PDF files directly inside your browser.

What Goes In

A multi-page PDF document uploaded from your computer or phone.

What Comes Out

Individual PDF file containing the selected pages, or a ZIP package containing every page as a separate document.

Selective Object Tree Extraction and Stream Isolation

A PDF file is a directed graph of indirect binary objects. When you extract page 4, the split engine locates the page node in the internal /Pages hierarchy, copies its /Contents stream, /Resources dictionary (embedded subset fonts, XObject images), and /MediaBox dimensions, and writes them into a newly allocated Document Catalog with fresh object numbering and an optimized XRef index.

Direct Stream Copying: Pages are copied at the binary level without re-compressing raster images or rasterizing vector text, ensuring 100% original quality.

Font Subsetting Retention: Embedded font glyphs referenced on the extracted page are preserved so text displays identically on any operating system.

How to Use the PDF Splitter & Page Extractor

Upload PDF Document

Drag and drop your multi-page PDF into the drop zone.

Choose Page Extraction Mode

Select "Custom Page Range" (e.g. 1-3, 5, 8-12) or "Split Every Page into Separate Files".

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

• Specifying page numbers exceeding document length

Ensure all requested page numbers are between 1 and the total page count displayed in the upload summary.
• Attempting to split password-locked PDFs

Encrypted PDFs must be unlocked with the owner password before page extraction can occur.
