About Split PDF

Pull a single page out of a long report, separate a scanned batch into individual documents, or keep just the odd-numbered sheets from a double-sided scan. Choose a range, a custom selection, or split every page into its own file. Everything happens locally in your browser, so confidential documents stay on your machine. Pages are copied rather than re-encoded, which means text stays selectable and searchable and the output is pixel-identical to the source — nothing is rasterised and no quality is lost.

Frequently asked questions

Everything people ask about the Split PDF.

Use commas for individual pages and hyphens for ranges — for example `1-3,8,12-15` gives you pages 1, 2, 3, 8, 12, 13, 14 and 15. Page numbers start at 1.

Select every page except the ones you want gone, and extract the selection as a single document. The result is your PDF minus the unwanted pages.

Scanners that feed one side at a time produce a file with all the fronts followed by all the backs, or the pages interleaved. Odd/even lets you separate those halves so you can reorder them.

No. Pages are copied byte-for-byte into the new documents, so text stays selectable and image quality is untouched.

Yes, completely. There is no account to create, no trial that expires, no watermark on the output and no feature held back behind a paywall. The site is supported by unobtrusive advertising, not by charging you.

No. Split PDF runs entirely inside your browser, so your files never leaves your device. You can confirm this by opening your browser's network tab — there is no upload request.

Yes. Because processing happens locally, there is no copy of your data on any server to leak, subpoena or lose. Nothing is logged and nothing is stored.

Yes. The interface is built mobile-first, with touch-friendly controls and layouts that adapt to small screens. Everything that works on a desktop works on a phone.

Once the page has loaded, yes. All processing is local, so you can carry on working if your connection drops.

Any current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari or Opera, on desktop and mobile. If something behaves oddly, updating your browser resolves it in almost every case.

There is no server-side limit because nothing is uploaded. Files up to about 100 MB are comfortable on a typical device; beyond that, processing speed depends on your machine's memory.

Yes. Whatever you produce here is yours — use it in client work, products, packaging or publications. There is no watermark, no licence to accept and no attribution required.

No. There is nothing to keep: your data is never transmitted, and it is cleared from memory as soon as you close or reload the page.
