01Why this splitter
Pick pages by sight, not by typing.
Four reasons paralegals, bookkeepers, and teachers stop fighting their PDF reader and come here instead.
- 01
Pick pages by clicking, not typing
Page thumbnails show up after upload. Click the ones you want, shift-click for ranges — no typing 1, 3, 5-9, 12 into a tiny input box.
- 02
Three output modes
Combine your picks into one PDF, get a separate PDF per range, or split every page into its own file. Whichever fits the next step you've got planned.
- 03
Runs in the browser
pdf-lib does the cutting locally. Even a 200-page report is split before you can switch tabs to find where you want to put the result.
- 04
Nothing leaves your device
Contracts, statements, transcripts — they all stay on your machine. We can't see your file because we never get a copy.
02How it works
Three steps to the pages you need.

03Use cases
When part of a PDF is the document.
People rarely need the whole file. They need this chapter, that exhibit, last month's statement. Here are the splits that come up most.
Pull one chapter from a report
Annual reports run hundreds of pages. Grab just the chapter you need without forwarding the whole document.
200-page report → 12-page chapterSend statements without the cover
Bank statements often have a redactable cover page. Skip it and share only the transactions someone actually needs.
Pages 2-end onlyHand back one student's papers
A scanned stack of submissions becomes one PDF per student in a few clicks — easier feedback, less file shuffling.
Combined scan → per-student PDFsExtract a passport or ID page
Pull the single ID page out of a long scan for a visa or KYC form. Original stays whole, copy stays small.
Full scan → ID page onlySplit a textbook by chapter
Quick way to share a single chapter with a study group without sending a 60 MB PDF to everyone.
Textbook → 1 chapter eachArchive a yearly file by month
Turn a 12-month combined PDF into 12 monthly files, ready to file into per-month folders.
Per-range mode, 12 ranges
04Quick tips
Speed up the selection.
Habits that turn a fiddly split into a five-second job.
- 01
Shift-click for fast ranges
Click the first page, hold shift, click the last. The whole run lights up in one go — no typing, no off-by-one mistakes.
- 02
Per-range output is underrated
If you want chapter-by-chapter files, define each chapter as a range and pick Per range. You'll get a separate, properly-named PDF for every span.
- 03
Compress the result
Splits made from scanned PDFs can still be heavy. Run the result through the PDF compressor for a quick 30-60% drop.
- 04
Mobile works fine
Tap pages to select on a phone. The output downloads straight to Files (iOS) or the downloads folder (Android).
05Loved by
Legal teams, finance folks, and teachers.
Court filings always need one exhibit pulled out. The shift-click selection made my old copy-page-by-page workflow obsolete in about ten minutes.
Per-range mode is the killer feature for me. Statement comes in as 12 months in one PDF, I get 12 cleanly-named files to file away.
Marking 80 essays scanned as one document was awful. Now I split per page, drag the right one into each kid's folder, done.
06Questions
Splitting PDFs, plainly answered.
The handful of things people check before splitting their first file. Anything missing? hello@wirelogs.com.
01How do I select pages to keep?
Click a thumbnail to toggle it. Hold shift and click another to grab the whole span between them. You can also type ranges like 1-5, 8, 12-14 into the range box — both styles work together.
02What's the difference between the three output modes?
One file: all your picks combined into a single PDF. Per range: every range you've drawn becomes its own PDF. Per page: every selected page becomes its own one-page PDF, bundled into a ZIP. Pick whichever matches what you'll do next.
03Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied bit-for-bit, no re-encoding. Text stays selectable, images stay sharp, fonts stay embedded. If you want a smaller file, run the result through the PDF compressor afterwards.
04Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Most PDFs with light protection (the everyday kind, not full encryption) split fine. If yours has a true open password, decrypt it in a viewer first, then drop it in here.
05How big can my PDF be?
Up to 100 MB per file. Almost every real-world PDF fits comfortably, even 500-page scans. If yours is larger, run it through the compressor first to slim it down.
06Is the tool actually free?
Yes. No usage cap, no watermark, no premium tier, no sign-up. Use it as often as you like, on any device.
07Do you store my file?
No. The split runs entirely in your browser via pdf-lib. Wirelogs never receives your PDF, which keeps everything from tax returns to medical scans private.
08Will it work on my phone?
Yes. Tap thumbnails to select, drag the range bar, and the output saves straight to Files on iOS or the downloads folder on Android.
