Document Splitting Should Be Private
Splitting PDFs often involves sensitive documents like contracts, financial records, or personal files.
- Entire documents uploaded just to extract pages
- Sensitive content exposed to third parties
- No control over server-side processing
- Document structure revealed during splitting
- Risk when splitting confidential contracts
Split PDFs in Your Browser
Our PDF splitter uses pdf-lib.js to manipulate documents entirely locally. Your files never touch a server.
- Extract specific pages or page ranges
- Split into multiple separate PDFs
- Preview pages before splitting
- No file content leaves your device
- Works completely offline

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extract non-consecutive pages?
Yes. You can select any combination of pages, whether consecutive or not, and extract them into a single new PDF.
Can I split a PDF into individual pages?
Absolutely. You can split a PDF so each page becomes its own separate PDF file.
Does splitting affect the original PDF?
No. Your original PDF remains completely unchanged. We create new PDF files from the selected pages.
What about password-protected PDFs?
Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked before splitting. We do not store or transmit any passwords.
