Pages are copied unchanged — text stays selectable, scans keep their resolution — and the original is never modified. For a few specific pages, Extract pages lets you tap them on a board and get one PDF. Files above 200 MB open in big-file mode, which streams the document so even a phone can split a huge scan by page count, though the size-based split needs the file in memory. Nothing is uploaded at any stage, and free use covers ten completed jobs per UTC day without an account. Add Bindery to the home screen to keep it a tap away.

How it works

  1. Open Bindery in Safari and choose the PDF from Files
  2. Pick every page, every N pages, at bookmarks, or under a size
  3. Save the ZIP to Files and open it there

Questions people ask

How do I open the ZIP on an iPhone?

Save it to Files and tap it — iOS extracts ZIP archives into a folder right there, with each part named after the original and its page or part number. From that folder you can share any part by Mail, Messages or AirDrop.

Can I split under an email size limit on the phone?

Yes. Choose “under a size” and type the limit; Bindery writes the fewest consecutive parts that each stay below it, checking the real bytes of every part rather than estimating. That mode needs the file in memory, so very large scans use the page-count modes.

I only need one page — is there a quicker way?

Use Extract pages: tap the page on the board, or type its number, and download a one-page PDF. It is the same untouched page copy, without a ZIP. On a phone it is often the fastest way to pull a signed page out of a long document.
