Overview

How does this PDF splitter work?

Your PDF is parsed directly in the browser, and every page is rendered as a thumbnail so you can see exactly what you're picking. Select the pages you want, then extract them into a single new PDF, export each selected page as its own file inside a ZIP, or split the entire document into one file per page. Nothing is uploaded to a server at any point.

Why this runs entirely in your browser

PDF files often contain sensitive or confidential documents, so nothing is uploaded to a server. Parsing and rebuilding the PDF all happen locally using your browser's own processing power, directly in the tab.

Common uses

Pulling a single chapter out of a longer report, separating a scanned batch of documents into individual files, extracting a signed page from a larger contract, or breaking a multi-page PDF apart for separate distribution.

Frequently asked questions

A few things people usually want to know before trusting the numbers.

"Extract → one PDF" combines every page you've selected into a single new file, in page order. "Selected → separate files (ZIP)" instead saves each selected page as its own individual PDF, bundled together in a ZIP. "Split every page (ZIP)" ignores your selection entirely and breaks the whole document apart, one file per page.

It's the base filename used for whatever you download — extracted pages, zipped files, and split pages are all named using this prefix plus a page number, so you can tell the results apart at a glance instead of getting generic filenames.

No. Pages are copied directly from the original file rather than rendered as flattened images, so text stays selectable and sharp, and any embedded images keep their original resolution in every resulting file.

PDFs that require a password just to open can't be split, since the tool can't read their contents without that password. PDFs that only have owner or permission restrictions but no open password can usually still be split without issue.

No. All splitting happens locally in your browser using JavaScript running on your own device. Nothing you upload here is ever sent to a server, stored remotely, or shared with anyone — closing the tab clears everything.
