How to split a PDF
Extract a page range or split a PDF into individual pages — without uploading the document to a server.
The full document stays in your browser — only the extracted pages are written to your download.
Why local splitting matters
Splitting a PDF implies you want to share a subset of it — which means the pages you are keeping private are still present in the file you upload to an upload-based tool. The entire document is transmitted, not just the pages you are extracting.
Filecraft's Split PDF tool reads the document into your browser, performs the extraction locally, and writes only the result to your device. The pages you are not sharing never leave your machine, and neither does the rest of the document.
