Split, Rotate, and Unlock PDFs Right in Your Browser

Most PDF problems are small: a scan landed sideways, a 40-page statement needs to become two files, one page has to go. None of these justify installing desktop software — and none of them should mean uploading the document to a stranger’s website.

Every operation below runs in your browser tab, on your device.

Split a PDF into parts

Split PDF takes page ranges and writes one file per range. 1-3, 4-6 becomes two three-page PDFs; a single number like 7 extracts just that page. Ranges keep their original order and numbering, so nothing gets re-sequenced behind your back.

Fix sideways pages

Rotate PDF turns pages by 90, 180, or 270 degrees. Rotate every page or only the ones that need it — a mixed-orientation scan is fixed in one pass by listing the odd pages. Rotation is applied to the page’s own rotation flag, so the content is never re-rasterized.

Delete the pages you do not want

Delete PDF pages removes the pages you list and keeps everything else, in order, with the document’s metadata intact. It is the right tool for stripping cover pages, blank scans, or a page with sensitive data before sharing.

Unlock a PDF when you know the password

A PDF that asks for a password every time it opens can be rewritten without one. Unlock PDF verifies your password locally and rebuilds the document from its pages. One honest limitation, stated on the tool page: the rebuild drops embedded form fields and metadata. For ordinary documents that is invisible; for form-heavy files, keep the original alongside.

And the reverse: merge

When the pieces need to go back together, merge PDFs combines any number of files in the order you arrange them — the same local-only guarantee.

Why local-only matters for documents

PDFs are where contracts, statements, and scans live. A server-side converter keeps a copy of everything it touches, even “temporary” ones. These tools never see your file: open the page with your network switched off and everything still works. That is the test, and it passes.
