How can I check that nothing is uploaded?
Your files are processed in this browser tab. This page has no function that sends files to a server, and its security rules (Content Security Policy) forbid connections to other servers.
Check it yourself: load this page, then switch on flight mode or disconnect Wi-Fi and run the tool. It still works – because everything happens on your device.

How it works – step by step
Choose a PDF
Pick the PDF you want to split. Every page shows up as a thumbnail.
Set the cuts
Tap a page to cut after it, or type ranges such as “1-3, 4-8”. Or split every N pages, by bookmarks, by file size or into odd and even pages.
Split and save
Tap “Split”. You get every file on its own and all of them together as a ZIP.
Why FaLe?
Cut with your finger
Your pages are laid out as a grid. One tap sets a cut, the parts are tinted – and the ranges in the text field update by themselves.
Six ways to split
Custom ranges, every N pages, every page, by maximum file size, by bookmarks or odd/even – the right one for almost any case.
Chapters as file names
When you split by bookmarks, the files are named after the chapters, so you find everything right away.
Ready for e-mail
Enter a maximum size, say 5 MB, and the pages are distributed so that every file stays below it.

Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded?
No. Splitting happens entirely in your browser and the PDF never leaves your device. After the first visit it even works offline.
How do I type custom ranges?
Every range becomes a file, separated by commas: “1-3, 4-8, 9-” gives three files, the last one runs to the end. For scattered pages in one file, use spaces: “1 3 5”.
How does splitting by file size work?
Pages are distributed to files in order, and each file is actually measured while splitting. If a single page is already larger than your limit, it gets a file of its own and you get a note.
What happens when I split by bookmarks?
Every top-level bookmark starts a new file named after the chapter. Pages before the first bookmark get a file of their own. If the PDF has no bookmarks, the tool tells you.
Are text, links and form fields kept?
Yes. Pages are copied unchanged into the new files, text stays searchable and form fields keep working. If the PDF is password protected, the parts are protected again with the same password.
