The browser enforces this: the site’s security policy only lets the page talk to the code libraries’ servers and an anonymous usage counter (tool name, file type, size range). A request carrying your file to anywhere else would be blocked before it left.
Check it yourself: open your browser’s developer tools, go to the Network tab, and run the tool. Or turn off Wi-Fi once the tool has loaded; it keeps working.
How it works
Split a PDF by clicking between pages, or pull out the pages you need into a new PDF.
Every page of your PDF is laid out in order. Click the gap between two pages to cut there, and click again to join them back; each resulting file gets its own colour, and the panel lists exactly which pages each file will contain. Quick cuts split every page into its own file or every N pages (every 2 for double-sided scans, every 10 for chapters). Switch to Pull out pages to tick individual pages, or all the odd or even ones, and save them as a single new PDF in their original order. Pages are copied as they are, so text stays selectable, links keep working and nothing is re-compressed. Split files download together as a ZIP, named by their page ranges. Password-protected PDFs need Remove password first. It all runs on pdf-lib in your browser.
How to use it
- Drop your PDF. Every page appears in order.
- Mark the cuts. Click between pages, or use Every page / Every N pages. Or switch to Pull out pages and tick the ones you want.
- Check the files. The panel lists each file and its pages.
- Split and download. Split files come as a ZIP; pulled-out pages as one PDF.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I split a PDF into separate pages?
- Press Every page under Quick cuts, then Split. Each page becomes its own PDF, downloaded together as a ZIP.
- How do I extract a few pages from a PDF?
- Choose Pull out pages, tick the pages you want (or Odd / Even pages), and press Make a PDF. You get one new PDF with just those pages.
- Does splitting reduce quality?
- No. Pages are copied as they are: text stays selectable and images aren't re-compressed.
- Is my PDF uploaded?
- No. Splitting happens in your browser with pdf-lib; the file never leaves your device.
