How to split a PDF or extract specific pages on Android

You don't need special software to split a PDF or extract specific pages on Android. FernPDF runs entirely in Chrome on Android: open the tool, drop your file, download the result. Pages are sliced locally, ideal for pulling one exhibit out of a long confidential filing.

On Android, you tap the drop zone to open the native picker, then choose Google Drive, Downloads, or your device's local storage. Once the result (multiple files arrive as a .zip) is ready, it downloads to your Downloads folder, opened from Chrome's download tray, or from the Files by Google app if your phone doesn't show a Downloads shortcut.

File management varies by manufacturer (Samsung's My Files, stock Android's Files by Google, and others), but the picker itself stays consistent: it's the same system dialog Chrome always uses, regardless of phone brand.

Works with files from Google Drive, Downloads or local storage. Because nothing uploads, it's quick even on mobile data, because you only pay bandwidth for the page itself.
