Show HN: A web app to split PDF into Color and Grayscale pages
splitto.app
How did it start ? While submitting my assignments I often had to separate the color & grayscale pages before sending it for print. As grayscale printers are often laser-based which is fast and cost-effective, there was no point printing the entire document from a color printer. But with the PDF tools available online, the process was still very tedious especially when the PDF has a lot of pages. So I decided to make one myself.
How it works ? Splitto separates your PDF pages by rendering and scanning every single pixel on each page to determine whether that page should be called color or grayscale. This entire process happens on-device which means none of your file contents are sent or stored on the servers. Once the process is finished you can either download both color & grayscale PDFs or simply copy the page numbers & paste them in the print dialog.
How to use it ? Splitto has a very minimal UI on purpose to reduce any friction or distraction during your workflow. Just select your PDF & hit the split button & that's it. In a matter of seconds, Splitto will process the output.
