Why people use Split PDF without uploading

You need pages 3–7 of an 80-page packet for an email, or each signed page as its own file. Uploading the whole packet to split it is the wrong trade. Split PDF shows page thumbnails locally, then writes new files from the pages you keep.

How to use Split PDF on this page

  1. Drop a single PDF. Thumbnails load page by page in this tab.
  2. Select the pages you want. All / None are shortcuts. Click a thumbnail to toggle.
  3. Choose “one PDF per selected page” (a ZIP if there are several) or “one PDF that contains only the selected pages.”
  4. Download. The original file on disk is not modified.

What this tool keeps — and what it does not

Extracted pages are copied, not screenshots, so text stays selectable. Crop boxes and rotation follow the source page.

Limits, failed files, and honest tradeoffs

Password-protected files cannot be read. Very long documents (500+ pages) will take time to thumbnail and may run out of memory on a phone — select a range conceptually by waiting for thumbs, or compress first if the file is huge only because of images. Split does not OCR; a scanned page stays a scanned page.

PDF tools FAQ

How do I split a PDF into separate pages?
Drop one PDF, select the pages (All is the default), choose one PDF per selected page, and download a ZIP. Or choose one PDF with the selected pages to get a single shorter document.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied, not re-rendered. Images keep their resolution and text stays selectable.
Why is my one-page extract almost as big as the original?
The page uses an image or font that the whole document shares, so it has to come along. In a 40-page test report with one banner photo on every page, page 1 alone kept 98% of the file size. Compress the extract to make it smaller.
