Frequently Asked Questions

How do I split a PDF?

Upload your document, enter the page numbers or ranges you want to extract (like 1-3, 5, 8-12), and hit split. The tool will create a new PDF containing only the pages you specified.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No, extraction happens entirely in your local browser. Your documents never touch our servers. The file stays in your browser's memory throughout the entire process.

Can I extract non-consecutive pages?

Yes! You can specify individual pages, ranges, or any combination. For example, entering '1, 3, 5-8, 12' will extract those specific pages into a new PDF in the order you specified.

Will splitting affect the quality of my pages?

No. Splitting a PDF is a lossless operation. The extracted pages retain their exact original quality — text, images, fonts, and formatting are all perfectly preserved.

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

You'll need to unlock the PDF first using our Unlock PDF tool. Once the password protection is removed, you can split the document freely.

What happens to bookmarks and links after splitting?

Internal bookmarks and hyperlinks that reference pages within the extracted range are preserved. Links pointing to pages outside the extracted range may no longer function in the split document.
