About PDF Split by Range
PDF Split by Range turns one PDF into several, exactly the way you define.
Instead of bursting every page or cutting into equal chunks, you write a short list of ranges — one per line — and each line becomes its own downloaded PDF.
Add an optional name before a colon and it is used in the filename, so "Intro: 1-3" saves as report-intro.pdf.
This is the tool for documents with real structure: separating the cover letter, the contract and the appendices from a single scan; pulling chapters out of an ebook; or splitting a bundle of scanned receipts into one file per claim.
The range syntax is the familiar forgiving one — single pages, hyphenated ranges, and open-ended ranges like "10-" (to the end) or "-3" (from the start), separated by commas or spaces.
Ranges can overlap or repeat pages across different output files if that is what you need; each line is independent, so the same page can appear in two of the results.
Every file is built locally with pdf-lib inside your browser — the source PDF is read in memory and never uploaded — which keeps confidential documents on your device and lets the tool work offline once loaded.
The original is untouched; you simply collect the new PDFs from your downloads folder, each named after its range.
FAQ
How is this different from a normal split?
A burst split cuts every page or into equal chunks. Here you define each output file explicitly by its page range, with an optional name — full control over how the document is divided.
Can the same page appear in two files?
Yes. Each line is independent, so you can repeat or overlap pages across different output PDFs if your workflow needs it.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Every output file is created with pdf-lib entirely in your browser, so the document never leaves your device.
