Split PDF

Separate pages or extract specific page ranges into standalone PDF files.

Your PDF is processed locally in your browser.

PDFSimplify processes documents on your device using client-side WebAssembly and Web Workers. No document data is transmitted to our servers or external cloud services during processing.

How Split PDF Works in Your Browser

The document structure is parsed locally in the browser. You select page ranges or individual pages, and our engine creates new standalone PDF binaries instantly.

Why client-side processing is more private:

Unlike conventional online converters, your documents never traverse external networks to third-party processing servers. Everything happens inside your local machine’s memory.
