Take out the three pages
that were the point.
Drop in a PDF and pick what you want out of it: every page as its own file, only the pages you name, or everything except them. The pages come out exactly as they went in, and the document never leaves your device.
This browser can't run this tool
It needs WebAssembly, which every current browser has.
Single pages, ranges, or both. "end" is the last page, and counting backwards works too: "end-2" is the last three.
The first PDF you open here downloads a 1.3 MB engine. After that this tool works offline too.
A conventional online converter takes your file, puts it on someone else's disk, does the work there and lets you download the result. Two copies of your file then exist somewhere you cannot see, for as long as that company decides. Here the code that does the work is shipped to your browser instead of your file being shipped to a server: the bytes are read by this tab, transformed in memory, and written back out as a download. Our server never sees them, so there is nothing for us to keep, log or lose.
One thing is counted, and here it is: when a tool finishes, this page tells the server which tool ran and whether it worked — never the file, its name, its size or anything read out of it, none of which ever leaves this tab. It is how we know which tools are worth keeping. The record is the same kind we keep for a one-time link: a truncated IP address, a country and a region.
Once the page has loaded, these tools keep working with the network switched off. That is the simplest proof that nothing is being sent anywhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the PDF uploaded to split it?
No. It is read and split by this browser tab, by a WebAssembly build of qpdf running on your machine. Nothing reaches our server, which is why the tool keeps working with the network off.
Q: How do I write the page numbers?
Commas between things and a hyphen for a range: "1-3, 8, 12-end". The word "end" means the last page, so "end-2" is the last three pages and "1-end" is everything.
Q: Can I delete pages instead of keeping them?
Yes — choose "everything except these pages" and name the ones to drop. It is the same operation seen from the other side, and the result is one document with those pages gone.
Q: Are the pages re-rendered?
No. Each page is copied with its text, fonts, images and links intact. A page pulled out of a document is byte-for-byte the same page.
Q: What do I get when I split every page?
One PDF per page, downloadable one at a time or together as a ZIP file that is also built in your browser.
The same idea, applied to sending things rather than changing them.
