Split PDF

Why "no upload" matters for PDFs

The files people split are rarely trivial. They are contracts, bank statements, medical records, tax returns, scanned passports. Most free "split PDF" websites ask you to upload the whole document to their servers before touching it — your file then sits on someone else's machine, subject to their retention policy, their breaches, and their jurisdiction.

This tool never does that. The splitting runs as JavaScript inside your own browser tab. You can prove it: turn off your Wi-Fi after the page loads and split anyway — it still works.

How to split a PDF here

1. Drop in one PDF file (or click to browse).
2. Choose Extract pages and type the pages you want — like 1-3, 5, 8-10 — or choose Every page separately.
3. Press Split & download. The result saves straight to your device.

When splitting a PDF actually helps

• Send only what's needed — pull the two relevant pages out of a 60-page contract instead of forwarding the whole thing.
• Separate scanned documents — a scanner often dumps several unrelated documents into one file; split them back apart.
• Remove private pages — extract everything except the page with sensitive details before sharing.
• Break up a big file — turn one heavy PDF into single pages that are easy to reorder, re-merge, or attach individually.

How do page ranges work?

Use commas to list pages and dashes for ranges. 2, 5-7 gives you pages 2, 5, 6 and 7 in that order. A trailing dash like 10- means “page 10 to the last page”. Pages come out in the order you write them, so you can reorder while you extract.

Does splitting reduce quality?

No. Pages are copied across as-is — text stays selectable, images keep their original resolution, and vector graphics stay vectors. Splitting is not a re-render, so nothing is degraded.

Can I reorder pages while extracting?

Yes. Pages come out in the exact order you list them, so typing 3, 1, 2 gives you a new PDF with those pages in that sequence. It's a quick way to pull out a few pages and rearrange them at the same time.

What about encrypted or password-protected PDFs?

A PDF locked with a password cannot be read without it, so it cannot be split here. Remove the password in your PDF reader first, then split.

Is there a file-size limit?

There is no server limit, because there is no server. The practical limit is your device's memory — very large scanned documents may be slow on older phones.

Tools that pair with this one

• Merge PDF — the reverse job: combine several PDFs (or the pages you just extracted) into one, in any order.
• Image Compressor — shrink image-heavy pages before or after splitting so the files stay easy to share.
• QR Code Generator — turn the extracted document's share link into a scannable QR code.

Processing happens entirely in your browser. Always keep a copy of your original file before splitting it.
