Frequently Asked Questions
Is Split PDF free?
Yes. 100% free, no sign-up and no watermarks on split files.
How does splitting work?
Each page of your PDF is extracted as a separate PDF file. All split files are bundled in a ZIP for download.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Splitting is done entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
Can I split specific pages only?
Currently all pages are split individually. Custom range splitting is coming soon.
