What PDF Split helps you do

Split a PDF into individual pages or extract only the ranges you need before sharing, archiving, or uploading to another system. The original stays on your device while you preview the page order and download separate PDFs. It is the practical way to turn a 200-page bundle into the one chapter a recipient actually needs.

PDF splitting runs entirely in your browser. Your document is not uploaded to Haivix servers.

How it works

The PDF is loaded with a JavaScript PDF library, and a new document is created for each output. Page copies preserve their original size and content. Range mode parses the page list, copies the selected pages into one document, and packages multiple outputs as a ZIP.

How to use PDF Split

Upload or drop a PDF, then choose whether to split every page or specify page ranges.
Review the page list and correct the range if the first or last page is wrong.
Download one PDF per split or a ZIP of outputs.
Open the result and confirm the page count before deleting the source.

When to use it

Extract one chapter or invoice from a multi-page PDF before emailing it.
Break a scanned document bundle into separate files for filing or upload limits.
Pull selected pages from a report without re-scanning or editing the source in desktop software.
Send only the signed page of a contract.
Split a batch of statements into one file per account.
Remove blank or cover pages from an upload.

When not to use it

Do not split a password-protected PDF; unlock it first.
Do not expect the split to compress or repair the pages.
Do not use it to reorder pages into a new document; use the organizer tool for that.

Example

A 180-page board pack contains a 12-page finance section. Range mode extracts pages 46–57 into one PDF, which is checked for the section heading and the final table before it is emailed to the finance team.

What you can do with PDF Split

Split every page into its own PDF.
Package every page into one ZIP archive.
Extract a custom range such as 1-3, 5 or 8-10.
Preview the page list before splitting.
Download one file or a ZIP of outputs.
Keep the original PDF untouched.

Example: send one chapter from a report

Drop the PDF and check the page count. If the document has a cover and a table of contents, the chapter probably starts a few pages in.

Choose the range mode, enter the pages exactly as they appear in the PDF, and review the resulting list. A range such as 12-24 is easier to verify than counting from the chapter title.

Download the extracted PDF and open it to confirm the first and last page. The source file stays unchanged on your device.

What to know before you start

Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked before splitting.
Very large files may be slower on older devices because processing stays local.
The split copies pages; it does not optimize images or reduce file size.
There is no drag-to-reorder editor; use a PDF organizer for a new page order.
Form fields and bookmarks may not be preserved across the split.

Common mistakes

Counting pages from the printed page number instead of the PDF page index.
Splitting an encrypted file and assuming the failure is a bug.
Downloading individual files when a ZIP would be easier to send.
Deleting the original before checking the extracted range.
Using a range with a typo and getting an empty or unexpected output.

Troubleshooting

If the split fails, the PDF may be encrypted, damaged or unsupported. Unlock or repair it first.

If the range produces fewer pages than expected, check the separator and the order; a reversed range may be rejected.

If a page is missing, compare the PDF page index with the printed page number; they often differ.

If the browser runs out of memory on a large file, split it in smaller ranges.

If the ZIP will not open, download it again; a large archive can be interrupted.

If the output page count does not match the range, check whether the source uses printed page labels that differ from the physical page index; the split uses the physical index.

If a range fails to parse, use commas between groups, such as 1-3, 5, and avoid spaces inside the numbers.

If the output filenames are hard to identify, rename the parts after the split; the tool names them from the source and page.
