Key Features
🔒 Your Files Never Leave Your Device
Unlike tools that upload your PDFs to remote servers, our tool processes everything locally in your browser using WebAssembly. No server ever sees your documents — not even us. This makes it one of the most private PDF tools available, completely free.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work in Safari on Mac?
Yes — Safari on Mac fully supports our tool. WebAssembly processing works in Safari 15 and later.
Can I extract non-consecutive pages on Mac?
Yes — select any combination of individual pages or page ranges from your PDF.
Does it work on Apple Silicon Macs?
Yes — WebAssembly runs natively on M1, M2, and M3 Macs through any modern browser.
Is this better than Preview's PDF splitting on Mac?
Our tool provides more control — extract precise page ranges with a visual interface. Preview's approach involves manual thumbnail dragging which is cumbersome for large documents.
