Frequently Asked Questions

How do page numbers work?

Page numbers start at 1, just like in a regular PDF viewer. So the first page is 1, the second page is 2, and so on. This makes it easy to match with what you see in your PDF.

Can I split a PDF into individual pages?

Yes! Simply create ranges where start and end are the same number. For example, to extract just page 1 (the first page), set both start and end to 1.

What happens if my ranges overlap?

Overlapping ranges are allowed. Each split file will contain the pages you specified, even if those pages appear in other split files too.

Is there a limit on file size or number of splits?

There's no hard limit, but very large PDFs or many splits may take longer to process depending on your device's speed. For best performance, we recommend PDFs under 50MB and fewer than 20 splits at once.

Will splitting preserve PDF quality?

Absolutely! Splitting a PDF doesn't re-encode or compress the content. The pages in your split files will be identical to the original in terms of quality.

Is this tool really free?

Yes, completely free! No registration, no watermarks, no hidden fees. Split unlimited PDFs anytime, anywhere.
