Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Every Page' split mode?

This mode extracts every single page of your PDF and saves it as an individual PDF file. All these files are then bundled into one ZIP archive for easy download.

What is the difference between extracting and splitting by range?

Extracting usually combines your selected pages into one new PDF. Splitting by range creates multiple separate PDF files (one for each range) and packages them into a ZIP archive.

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

No — password-protected PDFs must have their password removed first. You can use our Unlock PDF tool to do this before splitting.

What file do I get when splitting into multiple chunks?

You receive a ZIP archive containing one PDF file per chunk or range. Each file is named clearly, e.g., pages_1-5.pdf.

Is there a page limit or file size limit?

The uploaded PDF can be up to 50 MB. There is no limit on the number of pages in the PDF itself.

How long are my files kept?

All files are permanently deleted from our servers after 5 minutes for your privacy and security.

How many times can I use the Split PDF tool per day?

Up to 20 split operations per day on the free plan, tracked per IP address.

Does splitting a PDF reduce its quality?

No. The split operation extracts pages as-is, with no re-encoding or quality loss. Images, fonts, and formatting are preserved exactly.
