Frequently Asked Questions
Can I select non-consecutive pages?
Yes. Click any pages you want — they do not need to be in order. The extracted PDF will maintain the sequence you selected. For example, you can select pages 1, 5, and 12 and get a 3-page PDF in that order.
Is there a page limit?
There is no hard limit, but very large PDFs (hundreds of pages) may take longer to process. Since all processing happens in your browser, performance depends on your device's memory and processing power.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. All PDF processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your files never leave your device, making this tool safe for confidential documents, contracts, or any sensitive material.
What's the difference between "Extract Selected" and "Split All Pages"?
Extract Selected combines your chosen pages into a single PDF file. Split All Pages creates individual PDF files for each page of the original document, downloaded as a ZIP archive.
Will splitting affect the quality of my PDF?
No. The pages are extracted exactly as they appear in the original PDF. Text, images, formatting, links, and other elements are preserved without any quality loss or re-compression.
Can I split password-protected PDFs?
If the PDF requires a password to open, you'll need to remove the password protection first using dedicated software. PDFs with only print/edit restrictions (but no open password) may work, depending on the protection level.
Why can't I see page previews?
Page thumbnails are generated in your browser, which can take a moment for large files. If pages show as numbers only, the preview generation may still be loading. Complex pages with many images take longer to render.
