How does splitting a PDF work?

Splitting a PDF happens entirely in your browser. You load the file, choose the page range, and get a new standalone document. Because nothing is sent to a server, your privacy stays protected.

Splitting long documents is especially handy: from a 100-page report you can quickly create just the pages relevant to a colleague.

When is a PDF split useful?

Common cases include extracting one invoice from an annual bundle, separating chapters of an e-book, or pulling an appendix out of a contract. You send only what is actually needed.
