How the PDF splitter works

This tool uses a modern client-side PDF engine to load your document entirely in the browser. There is no upload, no server, and no risk of exposing sensitive documents to third-party systems. Once the PDF is loaded, the tool identifies the page indices you specify and copies those pages into a brand-new PDF document.

Two modes explained

1. Split by Page Range (e.g., “1-3”)

This mode extracts a continuous block of pages. For example: 2-5 will produce a new PDF containing pages 2, 3, 4, and 5.

2. Extract Specific Pages (e.g., “1,4,7”)

This mode lets you pick exact pages in any order. It is perfect for:

  • Submitting selected pages from a transcript
  • Extracting only signature pages from a contract
  • Removing unnecessary annexes

Why client-side PDF splitting is safer

Most online PDF tools require full upload, processing, storage, and then eventual deletion. Even if a tool promises auto-deletion, the document still exists temporarily on a server. With this browser-based splitter:

  • Your file never leaves your device.
  • There is no upload or external storage.
  • Everything is memory-based and wiped when you close the tab.

Best practices when splitting PDFs

  • Always review page numbers — PDFs start at page 1, not zero.
  • Use extract mode when pages are not consecutive.
  • For scanned PDFs, splitting helps reduce file size before compression.
  • Use the compressor afterwards if the final document is still large.

FAQ

Will splitting reduce quality?

No — the original page data is copied exactly into a new PDF.

Can I split large PDFs?

Yes. Browser memory is the only limit. Files up to 100–200 MB usually work fine.

Does the tool support multiple ranges?

Use Extract mode for multiple non-continuous pages.

Do you store my documents?

No. Everything runs locally on your device.
