Split a PDF
Split a document into fixed-size chunks, or extract exactly the pages you want with a range like 1-3, 7, 9-. You see precisely what will be saved before anything is written.
How to do it
- Open the PDF you want to split.
- Choose whether to extract a range of pages or split every N pages.
- Check the preview of what will be produced.
- Save — one file, or several.
Why nothing is uploaded
Most online PDF tools work by sending your file to a server, editing it there, and sending it back. That means contracts, medical records, bank statements and passports all end up on someone else's machine, and you are trusting a privacy policy about what happens next.
This editor does the work in your browser instead. The PDF is read by this tab, rendered with pdf.js and written back out with pdf-lib, both running as ordinary JavaScript on your own device. There is no upload endpoint, because there is no server doing any of this. Once the page has loaded you can disconnect from the network entirely and everything still works.
Questions
- Is my file uploaded?
- No. Everything happens in this browser tab, on your own device. There is no upload endpoint and no server-side processing, so the file never leaves your machine — you can disconnect from the network after the page loads and it still works.
- What range formats are supported?
- Single pages (7), ranges (1-3), open-ended ranges (9- for page nine to the end, -4 for the start through page four) and any combination of those separated by commas.
- Can I pull out a single page?
- Yes — either type its number in the extract field, or right-click its thumbnail and choose "Save this page as PDF".
