Why use Split PDF?
A single chapter out of a long manual, one signed page out of a contract pack, or the invoices for one month out of a yearly statement — splitting saves you from sending a hundred-page document when the recipient needs four pages. Working from page thumbnails means you can see exactly what you are extracting before you commit to it.
Privacy and browser processing
Your files are processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server, so your document never leaves your device.
There is no account to create and nothing to install. Because the work happens on your device, the speed depends on your device rather than on how busy a server is — and closing the tab is all it takes to remove every trace of the file from this page.
Limitations
Worth knowing before you start:
- Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked before they can be split.
- Page ranges have to fall within the document; a range like 40-60 on a 30-page file will be rejected.
- Splitting a document with many pages into individual files produces a large ZIP archive.
- Bookmarks and links that pointed to pages in other parts of the document may no longer resolve.
