Frequently Asked Questions

Can I preview the pages before splitting? Yes! Each page is rendered as a thumbnail once the PDF is loaded.

What if I enter an invalid range? You’ll see a clear error—only valid page numbers within the document will be processed.

Are my files uploaded anywhere? No. All processing happens locally in your browser using JS libraries like PDF.js and PDF-lib.

Can I use this on mobile? Yes—it’s fully responsive across screen sizes.

Can I split encrypted PDFs? Not currently. The tool does not support password-protected PDFs.
