Sometimes one PDF is really several documents wearing a trench coat: a scanned batch of receipts, a slide deck you only need two pages from, or a long report where each chapter should stand alone. ThePDFBuddy’s free split tool separates every page of a PDF into its own file, right in your browser.
Here is how it works in practice: you drop in a PDF, the tool processes it locally on your device, and hands you back a ZIP archive containing one PDF per page. Pull out the pages you need and discard the rest — no desktop software, no uploads, no accounts.
Because everything runs on your device, even sensitive documents stay private. Splitting is free for everyday use, and the resulting files carry no watermark.
