PDF Split
Extract specific pages or page ranges from a PDF. Pick the pages you want, hit split, download — all client-side.
Built for fast, private, no-nonsense work.
PDF Split is part of PixHaul — a small set of browser-based tools we built because most of the “free online” alternatives are slow, ad-laden, and upload your files before they’ll process them. PixHaul does none of that.
PDF Split in four steps.
- 1
Drop your PDF in
Drag a PDF into the upload area. We read the page count instantly in your browser — no upload happens.
- 2
Choose how to split
Pick page ranges like “1-3, 5, 7-9”, or split every N pages, or hand-pick pages by clicking their tiles.
- 3
Preview the groups
The Output panel shows each group that will become its own PDF, with page counts, so you can sanity-check before running.
- 4
Click Split
Each group becomes a separate PDF file that downloads to your machine. Filenames include the original name and the page range.
Questions, asked & answered.
Can I extract a single page from a PDF?
Yes — type the page number as the range (e.g. just “5”) or switch to Pick Pages mode and click one tile. You’ll get a one-page PDF.
How do I split a 100-page PDF into chunks of 10?
Choose “Every N pages” mode and set the chunk size to 10. PixHaul will produce ten PDFs, each containing 10 consecutive pages, named with their page ranges.
Is the split done in my browser or on your server?
Entirely in your browser, using the open-source pdf-lib library. Your document never leaves your device.
Does the split preserve form fields, images and bookmarks?
Page content (images, text, form fields, annotations) is preserved exactly. Document-level metadata like the table of contents is not carried over to splits because the page numbering changes.
Will I get a watermark on the output?
No. PixHaul never adds watermarks, regardless of file size, page count, or how often you use it.
What’s the maximum file size?
There is no fixed maximum — it depends on your device’s available memory. We have successfully split PDFs of several hundred megabytes on standard laptops.
How is this different from other online PDF splitters?
Most other tool sites upload your file, queue your job, and gate features behind a paid tier. PixHaul splits locally in your browser, with all features always free.
