Frequently Asked Questions
Can I split by specific page numbers?
Yes! Use the page range mode and enter ranges like "1-3,5,7-9". Each range becomes a separate PDF file.
What if the split produces multiple files?
Multiple output files are bundled into a single ZIP archive for easy download. Single-file splits download directly as PDF.
Is my PDF safe during splitting?
Absolutely. All splitting is done locally in your browser using pdf-lib. Your file is never uploaded to any server.
