Split PDF frequently asked questions
Can I download one PDF or many?
Yes. Choose a single combined PDF or a ZIP containing one PDF per range.
What range formats are supported?
Use comma-separated ranges like 1-3,7,10-12. You can reorder and validate each range in the UI.
Is my file private?
Yes. Thumbnails render and splitting happen entirely in your browser. Files never leave your device.
Is it mobile-friendly?
Yes. The interface supports touch, large tap targets, and responsive layouts.
How fast can it split a large PDF?
Splitting a 200-page PDF by ranges happens in your browser and typically completes within a few seconds.
Can I split every page into its own PDF?
Yes. Switch to “Extract all pages” mode to export every page as an individual PDF inside a ZIP archive.
How do I insert blank pages between sections?
Toggle “Add blank page” for any range. The splitter inserts a separator immediately after that range in the combined download.
Is there a maximum file size or page count?
Browser-based splitting handles files over 300 MB and hundreds of pages, though older devices may take longer.
Does the splitter work offline?
Once the page loads, range splitting and blank-page inserts run locally, so you can keep working offline. You'll only need a connection to reload the app or save to cloud storage.
How are filenames handled in the ZIP download?
Each range keeps your original filename plus the page numbers—for example, report-1-3.pdf—so the ZIP stays organized.
