Sending one chapter instead of the whole book
The everyday reasons are all about not oversharing: sending an accountant the three pages of a statement that matter rather than the year, giving a landlord the signature page rather than the whole lease, submitting the section of a report a committee asked for.
It is also how you get under an upload limit without compressing anything. Splitting a 40MB scan into four files loses nothing, where compressing it to fit might cost you the readability of the small print.
Split, or extract
They are different jobs and the distinction saves time. Splitting cuts a document into several files at chosen points, which suits a bundle that should have been separate documents all along. Extracting pulls out particular pages and leaves the original alone, which suits sending somebody pages 4, 7 and 12.
If the reason you are splitting is that a page contains something the recipient should not see, splitting is the wrong tool. Redact the page instead: removing the page from the copy you send does not remove it from the copy they may already have.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Split PDF tool free?
Yes. Split PDF is 100% free with no signup. Your file is processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to a server.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in any modern browser on desktop or mobile, no app, no plugin, no account.
Is my file private?
Yes. Files are processed locally in your browser, so they never leave your device.
Can I extract non-consecutive pages?
Yes. Choose the pages you want and they come out in one file, in the order you listed them.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. The pages are copied rather than re-rendered, so what comes out is exactly what went in.
Will the split file keep the bookmarks?
Bookmarks pointing at pages that are no longer in the file cannot survive. Those pointing at pages you kept generally do.
