Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm excited to share Split PDF — a tool I built because "one-size-fits-all" splitting never worked for me. The problem: Every time I needed to split a PDF, I had two choices: Upload sensitive documents to random websites (privacy nightmare) Use desktop software that was slow, bloated, and expensive And when I did find a splitter, it only offered ONE way to split. What if I only wanted specific pages? What if I needed custom ranges? The solution: A PDF splitter with three powerful modes — all running 100% in your browser: 📄 Extract All Pages — Every page becomes its own separate 1-page PDF file 📊 Split by Page Ranges — Define custom intervals like "1-3, 4-6, 7-10" ✅ Extract Selected Pages — Hand-pick specific pages from the visual grid What makes this different: 🛡️ Zero-trust architecture — Your PDF never leaves your device. Turn off Wi-Fi and it still works. 🎯 Three splitting modes — One tool, three ways to split. No other free tool offers this flexibility. 🔬 Structural cloning — We don't rasterize. We preserve vectors, fonts, hyperlinks, and metadata. 📦 ZIP packaging — Split into multiple files? We package them into a single ZIP for easy download. 🆓 100% free — No limits. No watermarks. No sign-up. No "upgrade to pro." Who is this for? Professionals extracting specific sections from long reports Students splitting lecture notes into individual chapters Teams separating contract sections for different stakeholders Anyone who values document privacy and flexibility I'd love your feedback! Try it out and let me know which splitting mode you use most. 👉 Try it now:
💡 Bright idea

Love that everything runs in the browser, no sketchy uploads. One thing that would make it even better is a drag-and-drop folder option for batch converting dozens of images at once without having to select them individually each time.

Maker

 Hey Güler, thank you! 🙌

You're absolutely right — folder upload for batch processing would be a game-changer. Currently, the browser's file picker can be a pain when you have dozens of images to convert.

I'm already exploring this for the next major update. The challenge is that browsers handle folder uploads differently across Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, so I want to make sure it's seamless across all of them rather than a half-baked implementation.

Quick question: would you prefer:

Drag a folder → auto-process everything in it, or

Drag a folder → show thumbnails of everything first so you can unselect what you don't want?

Your answer would really help me prioritize! Drop a quick reply if you can.

Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback — these are the kind of suggestions that make the tool better for everyone. 🙏

💡 Bright idea

Does it still handle large video files smoothly locally, or does it choke on anything over a certain size since it's all running in the browser?

Maker

 Hey Enes, great question! 👋

Currently, this tool is specifically optimized for PDF files — so it handles large PDFs with hundreds of pages smoothly because the processing is all structural (we're working with page dictionaries and content streams, not rasterizing anything).

For video files, I'd recommend checking out our video tools (we have converters and compressors) which are built with FFmpeg WebAssembly. They handle files up to 2GB locally in the browser — limited mainly by your device's memory.

If you have a specific file size in mind, let me know and I can test it or point you to the right tool. The nice thing about all our tools being local is: no upload time, no server queues, just your machine doing the heavy lifting.

Thanks for checking it out! Let me know if you have any other questions. 🙌

🔌 Plugged in

The all-in-browser approach is genuinely useful here. Merged a few PDFs and converted some images without anything leaving my device, which is a relief after dealing with sketchy upload sites. Solid tool.

Maker

 Hey Miraç, thanks so much for the kind words! 🙏

You hit on exactly why I built this — those "sketchy upload sites" are a nightmare for privacy. I've had my own documents end up in places they shouldn't be, so building something that keeps everything local was personal for me.

Really glad to hear you're using it across merging and conversions too! That's the power of having everything in the browser — once you trust one tool, you can use the whole suite without worry.

If you ever run into any issues or have feature ideas, I'm all ears. Thanks again for the support!
