How Split PDF keeps your data private
Splitting happens entirely in-browser using pdf-lib — the bytes of your original PDF are rewritten into new files right on your device. This matters when you're slicing medical records, legal discovery documents, or financial statements, because none of the page-level data or metadata ever leaves your computer or crosses a network.

About Split PDF
The Split PDF tool lets you break a large PDF into smaller documents — either one file per page or one file per custom range you specify. This is perfect for extracting chapters from a book, pulling invoices out of a bank statement, or cutting a long report into reviewable sections. Because everything happens in your browser, the tool works even when you're offline, and your documents stay private. Splitting is lossless: pdf-lib copies the original pages byte-for-byte into the new files, so you don't lose any quality or text fidelity.
