Frequently asked questions

Is this split PDF tool free?

Yes — completely free with no sign-up and no watermark on the results.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. The file is split entirely in your browser — it never leaves your device and nothing is stored on our servers.

How do I extract a specific page range?

Choose the “By page ranges” option and type ranges like 1-3, 5, 8-10. Each comma-separated range becomes its own PDF file.

Can I split a PDF into single pages?

Yes. Pick “Each page separately” and you'll get one PDF per page, bundled together in a ZIP for download.

Why do I get a ZIP file?

When a split produces more than one PDF, the files are packaged into a single ZIP so you can download them all at once. A split that makes just one file downloads as a plain PDF.
