Split PDF

Choose how to split the document: one page per file, the ranges you type, or blocks of N pages. Text stays text and the quality is the original one.

Your file stays on your device: nothing is uploaded

How it works

Pages are copied together with their resources — fonts, images, colour profiles — into new documents: nothing is rasterised and text stays selectable. When there is more than one part they come out in a zip archive, because handing over twenty files one by one would need a mechanism the rest of the suite does not have; when there is a single part, as with “extract pages 4-9”, you download the PDF directly instead of opening a zip for one file. Ranges use the same syntax in every language: 1-3, 7, 10- where the trailing dash means “to the end”. A range longer than the document is shortened, because 1-999 is how people write “everything”; a range starting past the last page is an error and we say so. What does not survive splitting: bookmarks, form fields, digital signatures and attachments, for the same reason they do not survive merging — what gets copied are the pages.

Your files are never uploaded. Anywhere.

Not to a server of ours, not to a third party, never. When you pick a file it stays in your browser’s memory: it is read, processed and written back on your device, and you save the result yourself. There is no path that takes it elsewhere, because there is no server to send it to.

  • Processed locallyFormats are handled by WebAssembly code running in your browser, not by a remote service.
  • Nothing to upload, nothing to wait forOther services send your file to a server and then send it back to you. Here the file never leaves: there is no upload to wait for.

  • No files to deleteOthers promise to erase your files after an hour. We have nothing to erase: they never reached us.
