## Why use PDF Split?

Our PDF Split tool allows you to break up large PDF documents into smaller, more manageable files. Whether you need to extract specific pages, split at regular intervals, or separate chapters, this tool handles it all directly in your browser without uploading your files to any server.

## Tips for Splitting PDFs

- Use Page Range mode when you know the exact page numbers you need -- it is the fastest way to extract a continuous section.
- Preview page thumbnails before splitting to make sure you are selecting the correct pages, especially in long documents.
- Split Every N Pages mode is ideal for breaking textbooks or manuals into uniform chapter-sized files.
- After splitting, use PDF Merger to recombine pages in a different order if you need to rearrange your document.
- For scanned PDFs, the tool works the same way since it operates on the PDF structure rather than the text content.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Is my PDF file secure?

Yes, absolutely. All processing happens directly in your browser. Your PDF files are never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.

### What split modes are available?

You can select specific pages to extract, specify a page range (e.g., pages 5-10), or split the document every N pages (e.g., every 5 pages).

### Is there a file size limit?

Since processing happens in your browser, very large files may be slower to process depending on your device's capabilities. Most PDFs under 100MB work smoothly.

### Can I split password-protected PDFs?

Currently, password-protected PDFs are not supported. Please remove the password protection before splitting.

### Do I need to create an account to use PDF Split?

No. PDF Split is available and requires no registration, no email, and no account. Simply open the tool and start splitting your PDFs instantly.

### Can I extract non-consecutive pages from a PDF?

Yes. In Select Pages mode, you can click individual page thumbnails to pick any combination of pages regardless of their order. The extracted pages will be saved as a new PDF.

### What happens to my original PDF after splitting?

Your original PDF remains completely unchanged. The tool creates new, separate files from the pages you select. Since everything runs in your browser, the original file on your device is never modified.

### Can I split a PDF into individual single-page files?

Yes. Use the Split Every N Pages mode and set the interval to 1. This will produce one separate PDF file for each page of the original document.

### Does this tool work on mobile devices?

Yes. The PDF splitter works on any modern browser including Chrome, Safari, and Firefox on both iOS and Android devices. Processing happens on-device so no data leaves your phone or tablet.

### Is there a limit on the number of splits I can make?

No. You can split as many PDFs as you need with no daily limit, no watermarks, and no restrictions. The tool is available and unlimited.
