FAQ
How do I split a PDF?
Upload your file and click Split PDF. Every page becomes a separate download.
Is this private?
Yes. pdf-lib processes in browser memory. Nothing uploads anywhere.
Do I need software?
No. Modern browsers process PDFs with pdf-lib. Zero installation needed.
What Split PDF Does
PDF-lib extracts pages. Each PDF page becomes an individual downloadable file. This is useful for sharing single pages.
Large PDFs process slower. Low-RAM devices may struggle with 100+ page documents.
Under the Hood
pdf-lib reads PDF structure in JavaScript. Document parsing happens at C++ speed in browser.
This architecture avoids server costs. All processing renders in browser memory.
Edge Cases
Encrypted PDFs fail. Unlock first to allow page extraction. Password-protected files need credentials.
Malformed PDFs may error. Corrupted files often lack proper internal structure for parsing.
