Split a PDF — without uploading it

Extract the pages you need, cut a document into parts, or save every page separately. Free, no limits. Everything happens in your browser — check the network tab.

How it works

  1. 01

    Drop your PDF

    The file opens in your browser’s memory — it never travels over the network.

  2. 02

    Pick pages or ranges

    Tap page thumbnails or type ranges like “1-3, 7”. Ranges can run backwards.

  3. 03

    Download the result

    One PDF, several, or a ZIP of every page — saved straight to your device.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know my PDF isn’t uploaded?

Open your browser's developer tools (F12 → Network tab) before choosing a file. You'll see no upload requests while splitting — and the tool keeps working in airplane mode once the page has loaded.

What’s the difference between extract and split?

Extract produces one PDF containing just the pages you pick. Split into ranges produces a separate PDF per range — "1-4, 5-8" gives you two files. Every page separately gives each page its own file, delivered as a ZIP.

Will the output lose quality or selectable text?

No. Pages are copied object-for-object into the new files — nothing is re-rendered, so text, images and vector content are preserved exactly.

Can I reverse the page order?

Yes — ranges can run backwards. Extracting "9-1" produces a PDF with the pages in reverse order.

Is there a page limit?

No fixed limit. Splitting runs in your device’s own memory; even long documents process in seconds because pages are copied, not re-rendered.

Is it really free?

Yes — no task limits, no watermarks, no account. The site is paid for by the labelled display ads on the page.
