Split a PDF — extract or separate pages locally

DocsArc splits PDFs on your own device. Pick the pages or ranges you want, and export them as separate documents — or pull a single section out of a large file.

There is no upload step, so a 300-page report or a confidential bundle is split in place, instantly, and nothing is sent to a server.

Frequently asked questions

Can I extract just one page from a PDF?

Yes. Select the page or range you want and export it as its own PDF, leaving the original untouched.

Does splitting upload my document?

No. DocsArc splits the file entirely in your browser, so it is never uploaded to a server.

Is there a page or size limit?

No. Local processing means there are no daily-task or file-size limits.
