PDF Splitter splits PDF files the way you need and extracts only the pages you want. Your original PDF stays unchanged, and you can share the results as separate PDFs or one ZIP file. Everything runs on your device, and your PDFs are never uploaded to a server. โ 5 ways to split a PDF โข Every page: separate every page into its own PDF โข Every N pages: split a PDF every 2, 3 or more pages โข Page ranges: one PDF for each range, such as 1-4, 5-8 โข Chosen pages into one file: extract pages such as 1, 3, 7-9 and save them as one PDF โข Odd or even pages: odd pages only, even pages only, or both as two files โ Pick pages on previews Tap page thumbnails to choose pages, and the ranges are filled in for you. Quickly extract the pages you need from scans and reports. โ File naming Set the start of the file names and number them by page (pages-001-004) or in order (part-01). An example name is shown before you split. โ Share and export Share split PDFs one by one or export them all as a ZIP file. You can also open a PDF from another app and split it right away. โ Password-protected PDFs Enter the password to open a locked PDF, and the split files keep the same password. The password is not saved. โ Privacy PDF contents, file names and passwords are not sent to a server. Ads and optional usage statistics and diagnostics may communicate online as described in the privacy policy, and you can turn usage statistics and diagnostics off in Settings. Large or complex documents may take longer, and some PDFs may not be supported.

PDF pages with wide white margins that make the text tiny on your iPhone or e-reader? Trimly finds the content on every page and crops away the empty margins, so pages fill the screen and print without wasted space. Select a PDF, set how much margin to keep, and tap Crop Margins. Trimly checks each page, trims the blank edges and gives you a new PDF to share or save to Files. โข AUTOMATIC CONTENT DETECTION โ each page is scanned for text, images and lines; faint scanner specks and near-white noise are ignored. โข KEEP A LITTLE MARGIN โ a slider keeps 0โ40 points of breathing room around the content so nothing is cut flush. โข SAME CROP ON EVERY PAGE โ optionally apply one shared crop to all pages for a uniform page size, or let each page crop to its own content. โข LOSSLESS AND SHARP โ pages are re-drawn from the original vector content, not turned into images, so text stays crisp and searchable. โข LINKS AND BOOKMARKS KEPT โ links are moved with the cropped content and the bookmark outline is carried over. โข PAGE PREVIEW โ see thumbnails of every page before you crop. Honest scope: Trimly crops only white or near-white margins automatically โ there is no manual crop box, and colored or gray page backgrounds (common on scans) may not be trimmed. Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first. PDFs up to 200 pages and 80 MB are supported. Your original file is never changed. Everything happens on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. Try it free โ 3 PDFs. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited PDFs and batch cropping โ pick up to 50 PDFs at once. No subscription, no ads.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PDF Splitter at none against Trimly's 1. Trimly's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
