Split a PDF into multiple files using custom ranges like 1-3,5,7-9. 100% free, no sign-up — your file never leaves this browser tab.
Split by Page Ranges lets you split a PDF by page ranges entirely inside your browser, with no software to install and no account to create. Like every tool on Techsinghge Smart Tools, it's built around restructuring a PDF — reordering, splitting, or trimming pages without touching the content itself, and it works the same way whether you're on a laptop, a Chromebook, or a phone.
Under the hood, Split by Page Ranges takes one PDF file and a list of page ranges and hands back one PDF file per range you specify. Your file is loaded directly into this page's memory using JavaScript — nothing is transmitted to a server, which means there's no upload wait, no file-size cap tied to a paid plan, and no copy of your document left sitting on someone else's storage once you're done.
Splitting a scanned exam bundle into one file per student using page ranges is one of the most common reasons people reach for this tool, but it works just as well for breaking a combined report into its original chapter files. If you need a related step before or after this one, check the related tools further down the page — every tool on this site is designed to slot into the same drag-and-drop workflow.
No installs, no accounts — just your browser doing the work.

Processing happens right in this browser tab, so there's no upload progress bar, no server queue, and no processing fee.
Because Split by Page Ranges runs locally, teams handling sensitive paperwork — legal, HR, healthcare admin, finance — can use it without the compliance questions that come with uploading documents to a third-party server. And if you only need it for a single one-off task, it's just as useful with zero setup and nothing to remember to delete afterwards.
