Split PDF: what it is and how to use it

What is Split PDF?

PDF splitting breaks large documents into parts so you can share only relevant sections or archive them separately. CodeGrid Tools performs splitting in the browser; parts download directly without your content sitting in long-term cloud storage. Useful for meeting minutes, annexes, and coursework. Daily limits and Pro benefits follow the platform’s file-tool policy. This guide explains when Split PDF helps and how to run it step by step in CodeGrid Tools.

When is it useful?

• Split by pages or ranges
• Runs in your browser—no extra software required

FAQ

Do I get a ZIP file?
Yes. Every split result is delivered in one ZIP, containing one or more PDF parts. Can password-protected or scanned PDFs be split?
It works with standard PDFs. Password-protected files cannot be processed until they are opened, and scanned pages can still be split like normal PDFs. Where does the split process happen?
It runs entirely in your browser with pdf-lib; the file is not uploaded to the server. Use Split PDF →
