Question 1

What does the Split PDF tool do?

Accepted Answer

It lets you upload one or multiple PDFs, choose which pages to keep, and download a new PDF with only those pages.

Question 2

How do I select pages?

Accepted Answer

Click a page tile to toggle it. Use Select all, Unselect all, or Invert selection. The header shows total and selected pages.

Question 3

Can I change the thumbnail grid size?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On mobile you can use 1 or 2 columns; on desktop you can use up to 5.

Question 4

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. Everything runs in your browser and your file never leaves your device.

Question 5

Will splitting change quality or content?

Accepted Answer

No. Selected pages are copied as-is without recompression, so quality is preserved.

Question 6

Are there file size or page count limits?

Accepted Answer

No fixed server limits; performance depends on your device/browser memory. For very large PDFs, split in batches.

Question 7

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

Accepted Answer

Not yet. Encrypted PDFs are not supported. Unlock the PDF first, then upload.

Question 8

Are bookmarks, metadata, or forms preserved?

Accepted Answer

Page content is preserved. Some document-level features (bookmarks/metadata) may not carry over.

Question 9

Can I reorder pages while splitting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Reorder uploaded files and drag page cards with the handle to set output order.

Question 10

Does it work on mobile?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It works on modern mobile browsers, but desktop is smoother for very large PDFs.

Question 11

How is the output file named?

Accepted Answer

It uses the original filename with 'split' and a timestamp. You can rename it before downloading.

Question 12

Can I start over or process another PDF?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use Start over to reset or Split another PDF after downloading.

Question 13

Can I split multiple PDFs at once?
