Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. All splitting happens in your browser using pdf-lib. Your files never leave your device.
Does splitting reduce PDF quality?
No. Pages are copied byte-for-byte from the original — zero quality loss on every output file.
How do I extract specific page ranges?
Use Custom Ranges mode and enter ranges like '1-3, 5, 8-12'. Each range produces a separate PDF file.
How do I download all split files at once?
When splitting produces multiple files, a Download All as ZIP button appears so you can grab everything in one click.
Is there a page or file size limit?
There is no hard limit. Large PDFs with hundreds of pages work fine, though processing time depends on your device.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Only if the PDF allows content copying. Fully encrypted PDFs that require a password to open cannot be processed in the browser.
Can I split a scanned PDF?
Yes. Scanned PDFs are image-based and split identically to any other PDF — each output page is a pixel-perfect copy of the original.
What is the difference between splitting and extracting?
Splitting divides the whole document into sequential chunks. Extracting pulls out specific selected pages (any combination) and saves them as a new PDF.
Does this add watermarks to split files?
No. All output files are clean, watermark-free PDFs with no added branding or metadata.

Extract exactly the pages you need from any PDF. Split by custom ranges

(e.g. 1-3, 5, 8-12), split every N pages into equal chunks, or pull out

a single page. When multiple files are produced, download them all as a

ZIP archive in one click.

All processing runs locally in your browser using pdf-lib — your

documents are never uploaded and there is zero quality loss. Pages are

copied byte-for-byte from the original.

Who is this for: lawyers extracting individual exhibits, students pulling

specific chapters, developers testing with a single PDF page, HR teams

separating multi-section onboarding packs, and anyone who needs to share

part of a document without exposing the rest. Every page remains pixel-

perfect — no re-encoding, no quality loss.
