Question 1

How do I split a PDF into individual pages?

Accepted Answer

Upload your PDF, choose the 'Every page (separate files)' mode, then click 'Split PDF'. Each page will be downloaded as a separate one-page PDF file. Use the page thumbnails to verify which pages to extract.

Question 2

Can I extract specific page ranges like 1-3, 5, 7-9?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Switch to 'Custom ranges' mode and enter your ranges using comma-separated values and dashes — for example '1-3, 5, 7-9'. Each range becomes a separate PDF file containing those pages in order.

Question 3

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. Your file never leaves your device — you can verify by opening DevTools Network tab. You can even use the tool offline after the page loads.

Question 4

Will splitting reduce PDF quality?

Accepted Answer

No. The tool copies pages byte-for-byte where possible and re-encodes them only when necessary. Text remains selectable, images stay sharp, and file size is similar to the original. There is no quality loss.
