Why Split PDF Files?
Splitting PDFs is essential when you need to share specific pages from a large document, reduce email attachment sizes, or organize document sections. Common use cases include:
- Share specific pages: Extract only the pages your client or colleague needs, instead of sending a 100-page document.
- Reduce file size: Break large PDFs into smaller files that fit within email attachment limits (typically 25MB).
- Organize chapters: Split a textbook or manual into individual chapters for easier navigation.
- Legal compliance: Extract specific pages from contracts or agreements for filing or review.
Privacy & Security
Your PDF files are processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No file is ever uploaded to our servers. This means your confidential documents — contracts, financial reports, personal records — remain completely private. The tool works offline too, once the page has loaded.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I extract specific pages from a PDF?
Upload your PDF, select 'Extract Pages' mode, and enter the page numbers you want. Use formats like '1-3' for ranges, '5' for single pages, or combine them: '1-3, 5, 7-10'.
Can I split a PDF into equal parts?
Yes! Use the 'Split by Count' mode and specify how many pages you want per document. The tool will automatically divide your PDF into multiple files.
What happens to the original PDF?
The original PDF remains unchanged. We create new PDF files containing only the pages you selected. Your original file is never modified.
Is there a page limit?
There's no specific page limit. The tool can handle PDFs with hundreds of pages, though processing time may increase for very large documents.
Are my files secure?
Yes! All processing happens in your browser. Your PDF files are never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.
