Sharing a chapter of a contract shouldn't mean sharing the whole contract.

You often need to send a specific section of a larger document (a single exhibit, a signature page, a chapter) without exposing the rest. Most tools require uploading the entire file to a server to extract a few pages. KeptPDF splits in your browser. Only you ever see the full document.

The difference in one sentence

Extracting pages from a confidential PDF shouldn't require uploading the whole file to a third-party server first.

KeptPDF processes your file locally in your browser. There is no upload endpoint, and you can verify it in the Network tab while splitting a file. The full document never travels anywhere.

How to split a PDF

Three steps, entirely on your device. No account needed, and nothing gets uploaded.

1. Open your PDF

Drop the file onto the page or pick it from your device. It loads in your browser without being sent anywhere.

2. Choose how to split

Enter specific page ranges (e.g. 1–3, 7, 12–15), split by every N pages, or extract all pages as individual files.

3. Download your parts

Each range becomes its own PDF file, downloaded to your device.

Precise splitting. No upload.

No upload

The full document stays on your device throughout. There's no server to transmit it to or retain it on.

Flexible split modes

Choose custom page ranges, split by fixed intervals (every 2 pages, every 5 pages), or extract every page individually.

Multiple outputs

Each range downloads as its own separate PDF. Useful for splitting a large report into chapters, or a contract into individual exhibits.

Questions, answered.

How do I split a PDF into separate files?
Open KeptPDF's Split tool, drop in your PDF, enter the page ranges you want (for example, 1-5 for the first five pages), and click Split. Each range downloads as its own PDF. Everything happens in your browser, with no upload required.
Can I extract just one page from a PDF?
Yes. Enter a single page number as the range and it will be extracted as its own PDF. You can also extract multiple individual pages at once by listing them.
Does splitting affect quality?
No. Pages are extracted without re-rendering, so content, fonts, and images are unchanged. The split files are lossless copies of their original pages.
Is there a page limit?
No limit on the number of pages in the source PDF. Pro supports larger files (hundreds of MB practical limit, browser memory dependent).
Is it free?
Yes. It's free with no account, no daily limit.
What if I want to recombine the parts later?
Use the Merge PDFs tool to combine files, or the Organize Pages tool to reorder and combine pages from multiple documents visually.
