Split PDF on Linux: built-in options vs this tool
On Linux, qpdf can split from the terminal (qpdf in.pdf --pages . 1-3 -- out.pdf). This page does it with a visual preview instead.
It works in Firefox or Chrome on Ubuntu, Fedora and other Linux desktops, as an alternative to command-line tools.
Private by design
Your file is processed by your own browser, in memory. It is never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone, and the page’s security policy blocks it from sending data to other servers.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work on Linux?
It works in Firefox or Chrome on Ubuntu, Fedora and other Linux desktops, as an alternative to command-line tools.
How do I split a PDF into separate files?
Add the PDF, pick a mode (custom ranges, fixed ranges, selected pages or every page) and check the preview. Click Split PDF to download the files; more than one file comes as a ZIP.
Can I save every page as its own PDF?
Yes. Choose “Every page” and each page becomes a separate PDF, named with its page number, all inside one ZIP.
Can I split by specific page numbers?
Yes. In Custom ranges, set “from page” and “to page” for each range, or in Select pages type a list like 1, 4-6, 9.
Does splitting change the content?
No. Pages are copied exactly as they are, including text, links and images.
Is it safe to use with confidential documents?
Yes. The file is opened by your own browser and processed in your device’s memory. It is never uploaded, so no server, including ours, ever receives a copy. That makes it suitable for contracts, IDs, medical or bank documents.
