How to Use Split PDF
- Step 1: Upload your PDF document into the split workspace.
- Step 2: Select your split mode: Extract All Pages as separate PDFs or Custom Page Ranges (e.g. 1-3, 5, 8-10).
- Step 3: Visually inspect pages in the interactive thumbnail grid.
- Step 4: Click Split PDF to download your extracted PDF files or consolidated ZIP archive.
Settings & Controls Explained
One Resizer's Split PDF provides specialized browser-local controls tailored to its workflow:
- Extract All Pages Mode: Splits every single page of the document into its own individual PDF file packaged in a ZIP archive.
- Custom Range Mode: Enter specific page ranges (e.g., '1-4, 7, 10-12') to generate targeted PDF segments.
- Interactive Page Grid: Visual thumbnails rendered with PDF.js allow quick confirmation of page contents.
Supported Formats & Technical Capabilities

Best Practices & Key Recommendations
- Use Custom Range mode when you only need a specific chapter, certificate, or statement from a large document.
- Check thumbnail previews to ensure you have specified the exact page numbers needed.
Troubleshooting & Common Issues
- Download prompt does not open: If extracting many individual pages, allow a moment for JSZip to bundle the files into a single `.zip` download.
- Invalid page range error: Ensure your page range syntax uses hyphens and commas (e.g. '1-3, 5') and does not exceed the document's total page count.
