Frequently Asked Questions

How do I split a PDF into individual pages?

Enter each page number on a separate line in the page range input. The tool creates one PDF per line and downloads them as a ZIP.

Can I extract non-consecutive pages?

Yes. Use comma-separated values like 1,3,7 or combine ranges like 1-3,7,10-12.

Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device.

What happens if I enter an invalid page range?

The tool validates your input against the actual page count and shows an error if a range is out of bounds.

Can I split password-protected PDFs?

The tool works with unprotected PDFs. Password-protected files need to be unlocked first.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no strict limit, but very large PDFs may be slower because processing happens in your browser's memory.
