Pro Tips for Split PDF
- Selected pages always come out in their original page order, however you clicked them.
- Use individual-pages mode when you need to email or archive pages separately rather than as one document.
- Merge PDFs afterward if you split too far and need to recombine a subset.
Frequently Asked Questions About Split PDF
Will my PDF file be uploaded to a server?
No — nothing is uploaded. This tool runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly/JavaScript; your file never leaves your device.
Is there a file-size limit, a usage cap, or a hidden fee?
It's free and unlimited, with no watermark and no forced file-size cap — the only real limit is your own device's memory for very large files.
Do I need to create an account or sign up?
No — no account, email, or sign-up is required for any tool. Just start using it.
Can I use this on my phone (iPhone or Android)?
Yes — it works in any modern mobile browser, no app install needed.
In what order are selected pages extracted when splitting?
Selected pages always come out in their original page order, regardless of the sequence in which you clicked them.
Can I split a PDF into individual single-page files?
Yes. You can use individual-pages mode to export each page of the document into its own separate file.
