About the Split PDF

Handytool's Split PDF tool lets you break one PDF into many smaller files without uploading anything to a server. Split every page into its own PDF, or enter custom ranges like 1-3, 5, and 8-10 to create exactly the documents you need. The entire process runs locally in your browser, which makes it suitable for contracts, scanned paperwork, study packets, and other sensitive PDFs.

Split PDF FAQ

How do I split a PDF into separate pages?
Choose Every page mode, add your PDF, and click Split PDF. Handytool creates one PDF per page and lets you download them as a ZIP.
Can I extract only certain pages from a PDF?
Yes. Switch to Custom ranges and enter the pages you want, for example 1-3, 5, 8-10. Each range is exported as its own PDF.
Are my PDF files uploaded anywhere?
No. The splitter runs entirely in your browser, so your PDF stays on your device from start to finish.
Will splitting change PDF quality?
No. Handytool copies the original PDF pages into new documents, so text, vector graphics, and embedded images keep their original quality.
Does Split PDF work on Mac, Windows, and mobile?
Yes. It works in any modern browser on macOS, Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, iPhone, and Android, provided the device can open the PDF locally.
