What Is a PDF Splitter?

A PDF splitter lets you extract specific pages from a PDF document or break a large PDF into smaller files. This is useful for isolating chapters, extracting forms, sending only relevant pages, or breaking up a large document for easier sharing.

TweakFiles splits PDFs entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. Your file is never uploaded to any server — the entire operation happens locally on your device, making it faster and more private than server-based tools.

Common Use Cases

  • Extract specific pages from a report or contract
  • Separate a multi-chapter document into individual files
  • Pull out a single form or certificate from a larger PDF
  • Reduce file size by removing unnecessary pages before sharing
  • Create handouts from presentation slides

How TweakFiles Splitting Works

TweakFiles loads your PDF in the browser using PDF.js for thumbnail previews and pdf-lib for the actual page extraction. You select the pages you want, and pdf-lib copies those pages into a new PDF document. The original PDF is never modified — you always get a new file with just the selected pages.
