Split PDF privately — FAQ

How do I split a PDF into separate files for every page?

Choose your PDF, switch to Extract all pages mode, and click Split — every page is saved as its own PDF file. Everything runs locally in your browser, with no uploads.

How do I extract only specific pages from a PDF?

Use Custom ranges mode: type ranges like 1-3, 5, 8-10 and each range becomes a separate PDF. The page count is shown as soon as you pick a file, so you know exactly what to type.

Is it safe to split confidential PDFs online?

Yes — PDFMatic splits your PDF without uploading it. The file is processed entirely on your device and never reaches a server.

Can I combine the split files back together?

Anytime. Use the Merge PDF tool to combine any PDFs back into a single document, in any order you want.
