PDF Splitter is a simple document tool for turning one PDF into the pages or ranges you need. Choose a PDF, split it on your device, and export the results as a full ZIP or individual PDF files. Key features - Split a PDF into page-based files - Enter ranges such as 1-4,5-8 - Export all results as one ZIP - Share only the result PDFs you need - Track progress and cancel processing - Get clear messages for password-protected, damaged, or invalid files Privacy approach PDF Splitter performs PDF splitting on your device. The app does not intentionally add PDF contents, file names, file paths, split output files, or share target app names to analytics events, crash logs, ad requests, or its own server. Ads and diagnostics The app includes Google AdMob ads and uses Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics to understand app usage and diagnose errors. Data handled by SDKs, including advertising, consent, diagnostics, and device identifier information, should be reflected in the App Store privacy label and privacy policy. Use PDF Splitter when you need to organize PDF pages, send only a specific section, or keep split results ready as separate files.

Merge, split, sign, redact and scan PDFs — fifteen tools that run entirely on your iPhone, with no account and no upload. FIFTEEN TOOLS, ALL ON YOUR DEVICE • Scan to PDF — use the camera to make a cropped, straightened PDF • Merge PDFs — combine several documents into one • Split PDF — break one document into several • Extract Pages — pull a range into its own PDF • Delete Pages — remove the pages you don't need • Reorder Pages — drag pages into a new order • Rotate Pages — turn pages the right way up • Sign & Fill — add a signature, a date or a tick • Redact PDF — black out words so they are really gone • Protect PDF — add or remove a password • Clean PDF — strip hidden author and app details • Make Searchable — find the text inside a scan • PDF to Images — save pages as JPEG, PNG or HEIC • Images to PDF — turn photos into a document • Batch Process — apply one tool to a whole stack at once PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION PageKit contains no networking code at all. This is not a promise not to upload your documents — the app has no way to. There are no analytics, no third-party libraries, no tracking, and no identifiers of any kind. Your documents, scans, signatures and passwords stay in the app's own storage on your device. Redaction genuinely removes the text rather than drawing a black rectangle over it. Cleaning strips the author, creator and keywords that a PDF carries without ever showing you. Every tool writes a new document, so your original is left exactly as it was. BUILT FOR iOS • Works offline, always • Share sheet — send a PDF into PageKit from any app • Home Screen widgets and a Control Centre scan button • Shortcuts and Siri for merging, converting and opening tools • Spotlight — find your documents from the Home Screen, indexed on device and switchable off • Full VoiceOver and Dynamic Type support • A proper iPad layout, not a stretched phone • English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese and Spanish FREE AND PRO Most of PageKit is free and unlimited. Splitting, extracting, deleting, reordering, rotating, signing, redacting and cleaning have no cap at all. Merging is free up to 3 PDFs at a time, and converting images is free up to 5 at a time. PageKit Pro removes those limits and unlocks scanning, text recognition, password protection, image export and batch processing. • PageKit Pro Lifetime; paid once • PageKit Pro Monthly Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A monthly subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. The lifetime option is a one-time purchase and never renews.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PDF Splitter at none against PageKit's 2. PDF Splitter also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). PageKit's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
