Splitting a contract or confidential document raises an awkward question: is it safe to upload to an online tool? With PDF Tool the question disappears — splitting runs entirely in your browser, for free, and the file never leaves your device.

Four simple steps

  1. 1

    Select the PDF in the Split PDF tool.

  2. 2

    Choose one page each or custom ranges.

  3. 3

    For ranges, enter the start and end pages.

  4. 4

    Select Split PDF and save the output PDF or ZIP.

Tips for the best result

  • The PDF is never sent to a server, during or after processing.
  • The original file stays unchanged on your device.
  • Closing the browser releases the loaded data from memory.

The risk with upload-based splitters

Typical online splitters process your PDF on their servers. Most promise deletion after some period, but transit and server-side handling cannot be verified from outside — and company policy may forbid uploading such documents at all.

On-device processing is safe by construction

PDF Tool analyzes pages and generates the new PDFs inside your browser, so the what happens after upload question never arises.

The privacy policy states this explicitly: file contents, file names, and file sizes are never collected.

Picking a split mode

Use one page each to separate stacked documents, and custom ranges to pull out chapters or sections. Ranges can overlap, so several extracts can each include a shared cover page.

Multiple outputs download as one ZIP with sequential filenames, and since the source file is untouched, you can rerun the split with different settings as often as you like.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really not uploaded?

Correct. Splitting runs as JavaScript in your browser; neither file contents nor file names are transmitted.

Can I split confidential documents?

Since the file never leaves your device, a whole category of exposure risk present in upload-based services simply does not apply.

How many times can I use it for free?

There is no limit. Split as often as you need.
