Read full descriptionHide full description
Extract just the pages you need. PDF Split is a PDF splitter built around one idea: simplicity. When you need to pull specific pages out of a document, it gets it done right there, right now. โ Pricing (In-App Purchase) - The app is free to download. Splitting, saving, and sharing are all free. - PDFs made with the free version include a logo (watermark). - Removing the logo is a one-time purchase (non-consumable). No feature limits, no usage limits. - This is not a subscription โ pay once, with no recurring charges. No ads. โ Two ways to split - By page range: extract only the pages you want (e.g. 3โ5) into a single PDF - Split every page: break every page into its own PDF and export them all as a zip โ Simple by design Open the app, pick a PDF, split. No manual needed. We stripped away the extras and focused on one thing: splitting PDFs. โ Private by design - Fully offline: your files never leave your device. Your privacy stays yours - One-time purchase: buy once, use forever. No subscription - No ads, no account required Great for when you want to: - Share only the relevant pages from a contract or invoice - Organize a scanned document one page at a time - Split a large PDF to send it by email Password-protected PDFs are not supported.

Feather PDF gives you the full paid-PDF-suite toolbox โ completely free, with no sign-ups, no daily limits, and no watermarks stamped on your files. The difference? Everything happens on your iPhone. Other PDF apps upload your documents to their servers to process them. Feather PDF never does. Your contracts, tax forms, medical records, and IDs stay on your device from start to finish โ which also makes it fast, and means it works with no internet connection at all. NINE TOOLS IN ONE APP โข Merge PDF โ combine any number of PDFs into one. Drag to reorder with live page thumbnails. โข Split PDF โ pull out specific pages ("1, 4-7"), save every page separately, or split into equal chunks. โข Compress PDF โ shrink files for email with four quality presets, with a live preview of the quality trade-off before you commit. โข Organize PDF โ see every page as a thumbnail, then reorder, rotate, or delete pages with a tap. โข Rotate PDF โ fix upside-down scans in seconds. โข Images to PDF โ turn photos, screenshots, JPG, PNG or WebP images into a clean PDF with your choice of page size and margins. โข PDF to Images โ export every page as a high-resolution PNG or JPG. โข Watermark โ stamp "CONFIDENTIAL" (or anything else) across every page, with a live preview on your actual document. Control size, color, opacity, angle, tiled or centered. โข Page Numbers โ add page numbers in any corner or centered, in formats like "3 of 12", previewed live on your file. WHY PEOPLE SWITCH TO FEATHER PDF โข Private by design โ files are processed on your device and never uploaded. There is no server to trust, because there is no server. โข Actually free โ no subscription, no "3 files per day" limit, no watermark ads stamped onto your documents. Supported by a small banner ad instead of your data. โข No account needed โ open the app and get to work. โข Works offline โ on a plane, in a basement, anywhere. โข Live previews โ see exactly what your watermark, page numbers, or compression will look like before you apply them. โข Fast โ no upload/download round-trip means big files process in seconds. โข In your language โ available in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, and Chinese. PERFECT FOR Combining scanned receipts for expense reports, shrinking attachments that bounce back from email servers, extracting the two pages you actually need from a 90-page manual, watermarking proposals before sending them out, numbering contract pages, and turning photo batches into shareable PDFs. Download Feather PDF and stop paying subscriptions for things your phone can do by itself.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Feather PDF at none against PDF Split & Extract's 1. PDF Split & Extract's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
