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. β–  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 β€” pay once, with no recurring charges. No ads. β–  Two ways to split - By page range: extract only the pages you want (e.g. 3–5) into a single PDF - Split every page: break every page into its own PDF and export them all as a zip β–  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. β–  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.
