What happens when I split into individual pages?

Each page becomes its own PDF file. All files are bundled into a single ZIP download so you get everything at once.

Does splitting remove encryption or passwords?

This tool cannot open password-protected PDFs. If your PDF requires a password to open, you will need to remove the password first using another tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using the pdf-lib JavaScript library. Your files never leave your device — you can verify by disconnecting from the internet and using the tool offline.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no hard limit. However, very large files (100+ MB) may be slow depending on your device's memory and processor since everything runs locally in the browser.

Can I extract non-consecutive pages?

Yes. Use comma-separated values and ranges like "1-3, 5, 7-9" to extract any combination of pages into a single new PDF. You can also click individual page tiles to toggle them on or off.

What is "Split by Ranges" mode?

Split by Ranges lets you define multiple named sections — for example "Chapter 1: 1-5" and "Chapter 2: 6-10". Each range becomes its own PDF file, and all files are bundled into one ZIP download.

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

This tool cannot open password-protected (encrypted) PDFs. You would need to unlock the PDF first using a dedicated password removal tool, then use this splitter.
