1Upload your PDF | WebUtilsFree: Click the drop zone or drag and drop a PDF file. The tool instantly loads your document and displays thumbnail previews of every page.
2Select the pages you need | WebUtilsFree: Click individual page thumbnails to select or deselect them. Use "Select All" or "Deselect All" for quick bulk actions. You can also type specific page ranges.
3Click "Split PDF": The tool extracts only your selected pages and assembles them into a brand-new PDF document — all processing happens instantly in your browser.
4Download your new PDF | WebUtilsFree: The split document downloads automatically, containing only the pages you chose. The original file is never modified.

Files Are Processed Locally and Securely on Your Device

Most online PDF splitters require you to upload your files to a remote server for processing. This creates a serious privacy risk — your documents may contain contracts, invoices, medical records, or other sensitive data that shouldn't be transmitted over the internet.

Our PDF splitter works entirely differently:

✓Your file is read directly by the browser using the FileReader API — no upload occurs at any point.
✓PDF parsing and page extraction happen 100% client-side using the pdf-lib JavaScript library.
✓The new split document is created in memory and downloaded directly to your device.
✓Page thumbnails are rendered locally via pdfjs-dist — images never leave your machine.
✓Even after the page loads, the tool works fully offline — no internet connection required.

This makes our PDF splitter ideal for sensitive documents — legal agreements, financial statements, healthcare records, or anything you wouldn't want stored on a third-party server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extract non-consecutive pages (e.g., pages 1, 3, and 7)?

Yes! Simply click on the thumbnail of each page you want to include. The pages don't need to be consecutive — select any combination you need and they'll be assembled in order into a new PDF.

Does splitting a PDF affect the original file?

No. The original PDF is never modified. The tool reads your file, copies the selected pages into a brand-new PDF document, and downloads it separately. Your original remains untouched.

Will the split PDF preserve formatting, images, and links?

Yes. All page content — text, images, formatting, annotations, and embedded fonts — is fully preserved. The tool copies pages at the PDF structural level, so nothing is re-rendered or degraded.

Is there a limit on the number of pages?

There is no hard limit. Since processing happens in your browser, very large PDFs (hundreds of pages) may take a few seconds to generate thumbnails. For best performance, we recommend files under 100 MB.

Can I split password-protected PDFs?

Password-protected (encrypted) PDFs must have their password removed before splitting. Most PDF readers allow you to export a PDF without the password if you know it.
