What people use Split PDF for

• Pulling a single signed page out of a long agreement to send on its own.
• Splitting a combined bank statement into one file per month for bookkeeping.
• Breaking a document into chunks that each fit under an upload size limit.
• Separating a double-sided scan into individual pages before reordering them.

Split PDF: limits and things worth knowing

• You can split into single pages, into fixed-size chunks, or extract a custom range such as 3-7 and 12.
• The original file is never modified — every split produces new files and leaves your source untouched.
• Page numbering follows the PDF's own page order, which is not always the number printed on the page; check the thumbnails if a document has front matter.
• Encrypted PDFs need unlocking first.

Is it private and secure?

Your privacy is built in. Split PDF does all processing on your own device using client-side code, so your files are never transmitted, stored or seen by anyone — including us.

Network activity: none. Nothing is sent and nothing is fetched. This tool makes no network request at all once the page has loaded — which is why it keeps working if your connection drops.

You do not have to take that on trust — our privacy proof page publishes the Content-Security-Policy that enforces it, lists every third party it permits, and shows how to verify the whole claim yourself.

We also measured the competition. Our PDF upload audit recorded how many bytes each of 20 online PDF tools actually transmits: 12 of the 13 measurable services uploaded the whole test file, and Filevane transmitted 0.00 MB.
