Use case
Split a PDF into chapters
Extract individual chapters or sections from a larger PDF — share only what is relevant, without uploading the full document to do it.
The full document stays in your browser — only the extracted pages are written to your download.
Why splitting a PDF implies a privacy concern
The common reason for extracting a chapter is that you want to share a part of a document — not the whole thing. That usually means the rest of the document contains content you are keeping private.
With upload-based tools, the irony is that you transmit the entire document to extract the pages you want to share. Every chapter, every appendix, every page you chose not to send transits the tool's server anyway.
Filecraft reads the document into your browser, extracts the specified range locally, and writes only the result to your device. The rest of the document stays in browser memory and is cleared when you close the tab.
