Splitting a PDF shouldn't require typing cryptic page ranges into a text box and hoping you counted right. This tool renders every page as a thumbnail so you can see exactly what you're selecting, then either bundles your pick into a single extracted PDF or breaks each selected page into its own file. Like every tool here, the PDF is parsed and rebuilt with pdf-lib entirely inside your browser tab, running in a web worker so the interface stays responsive even on a few-hundred-page document.
