Click Split PDF to generate separated PDF documents and download as a ZIP archive.
Specify pinpoint Start Page and End Page parameters to extract exact sections into a clean new document.
Extract every single page into standalone PDF files and package them into a single downloadable ZIP archive.
100% client-side execution; PDF files are processed in local browser memory and never uploaded to remote servers.
Splitting a PDF document client-side extracts target page nodes from the source document cross-reference (XRef) table. Upon file selection, pdf-lib reads the binary header to parse the document Catalog tree and calculate total available pages.
When extracting individual pages in a loop, pdfDoc.copyPages(sourcePdf, [i]) creates independent single-page document containers for each page index. Each document is serialized to binary bytes, and JSZip packages the resulting files into a single .zip archive.
The extracted page object streams, font dictionaries, and embedded image XObjects are copied without re-compressing graphics, retaining 100% of original vector typography and resolution.
