Split PDF files
Pick a PDF, type page ranges (e.g. 1-3, 5, 7-9), and get one file per range. Everything happens in your browser — the PDF never uploads anywhere.
About splitting PDFs in your browser
Most "free online PDF splitters" upload your file to their server — fine for a meeting
agenda, risky for a contract or medical record. The Qaynaq Labs PDF Splitter does the work
client-side using the open-source pdf-lib library. Your file never leaves the
device; close the tab and there's no trace anywhere.
Use ranges like 1-3, 5, 7-9 to produce one PDF per range, or click
"One file per page" to get every page as its own PDF. Output PDFs preserve the original
file's pages exactly — no re-rendering, no quality loss, no metadata stripping unless you
ask for it.
Frequently asked
Does my file upload anywhere?
No. All splitting happens in your browser using pdf-lib. You can disconnect the internet after the page loads and the tool still works.
What's the maximum file size?
Limited by your browser's memory. Modern laptops handle 500 MB PDFs fine; phones may struggle past 100 MB.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
If the password protection is removable (owner password only), yes. If it has a user password preventing opening, you'll need to unlock it first.
Is the output identical to the input pages?
Yes — pages are copied byte-for-byte. No re-rendering, no resampling, no quality degradation.
