Frequently Asked Questions
How do I split a PDF?
Upload your PDF, choose split mode (every page or custom ranges), then click "Split PDF". The resulting files will be available for download.
What page range formats are supported?
You can use formats like "1-5" for a range, "3" for a single page, or "1-3, 5, 7-10" for multiple ranges separated by commas.
Can I split every page into individual files?
Yes, select "Split Every Page" mode to create a separate PDF for each page in the document.
Is this PDF splitter free?
Yes, completely free with no limits. Split as many PDF files as you need, no registration required.
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
No. All splitting happens locally in your browser using JavaScript, so your PDF never leaves your device or touches any server. You can even disconnect from the internet after loading the page and still split files. This makes the tool safe for confidential contracts, invoices, and personal documents.
What is the maximum PDF file size I can split?
There is no hard server limit since processing is local, but practical capacity depends on your device memory. Most modern computers handle PDFs up to 500 MB or 1,000+ pages smoothly, while older phones may struggle with files over 100 MB. Close other tabs to free up RAM for large files.
Does splitting a PDF reduce its quality?
No quality loss occurs. The tool copies the original pages byte-for-byte into new files, so text remains vector-sharp, images keep their full resolution, fonts stay embedded, and any clickable links or form fields are preserved exactly as they appear in the source document.
Can I extract a single page from a PDF?
Yes. Enter just the page number, such as 7, and the tool creates a new one-page PDF containing only that page. This is handy for pulling a single receipt, signature page, or certificate out of a long document without affecting the original file.
