UlvixorSplit PDF
Upload a PDF and turn it into a separate file for each page, with sequential naming. Everything happens in your browser with pdf-lib, without uploading the document to any server.
How it works
- Select a PDF file from your device.
- Click 'Split into individual pages' so pdf-lib copies each page of the document into a new, independent PDF.
- The tool generates one file per page, named original-name-page-N.pdf.
- Download each file individually from the list, or click 'Download all' to get them all at once.
- Files are downloaded with a small pause between each one to prevent the browser from blocking multiple simultaneous downloads.
Use cases
- Split a multi-page scanned PDF to send only the page that belongs to each recipient.
- Extract each sheet of a booklet or brochure to reuse them individually.
- Split a signed contract into loose pages to archive them separately in a document management system.
- Isolate a single page (like a certificate or receipt) from a longer PDF without opening an editor.

Common mistakes
- Expecting the tool to generate a single shorter PDF instead of one file per page.This tool always produces an independent file for every page of the original document; if you only need a subset of pages in one PDF, use the page extractor instead.
- Clicking 'Download all' on a many-page PDF and missing a download because the browser blocks pop-ups.Downloads trigger with a short delay between each one to reduce that blocking, but on very long documents it's worth checking your downloads folder or downloading files one at a time from the list.
- Not realizing each file's name depends on the original PDF's name.Each file is automatically named original-name-page-N.pdf, so if you upload a file without a .pdf extension or with special characters in the name, the result may look different than expected.
Frequently asked questions
No. The entire reading and splitting process happens in your browser with pdf-lib; the file is never sent to an external server.
Not directly: this tool always generates one file per page of the document. If you want to keep a subset of pages in a single PDF, use the page extractor.
Each file is named after the original PDF followed by '-page-' and the page number, for example report-page-3.pdf.
A file is still generated, identical in content to the original but with the new single-page name.
Alternatives
Adobe Acrobat or command-line tools like pdftk or qpdf can also split a PDF into individual pages. This tool is convenient because it requires no installation, works the same on any operating system, and doesn't upload a potentially confidential document to an external server.
