Frequently asked questions about Split PDF

How do I write a page range?

Hyphens for runs, commas for separate pages: "2-5, 9, 14-18". Pages are numbered from 1.

What is the difference between splitting and deleting pages?

Splitting produces new files and leaves the original alone. Delete Pages gives you the same document with pages removed. If you want to keep most of the document, Delete Pages is more direct.

Do I get one file back or several?

That depends on which you asked for. Naming a range gives you a single PDF containing those pages. Splitting every page gives you a zip with one PDF per page inside it, each named after the page it came from.

Do the split pages keep their quality?

Yes. The pages are copied across as they are, not re-rendered — the text stays selectable, images keep their original resolution, and nothing is compressed on the way out.

Is it free?

Yes. Every tool works without paying and without an account. Files can be up to 200 pages and 80 MB, and a run that fails costs you nothing.

Do I need to create an account?

No. All tools work without signing in. An account raises your hourly allowance and lets you see what you have processed.

What happens to my file?

It travels over an encrypted connection into a directory created for that single request, is processed, is returned to you, and the working copy is deleted as the request finishes. We keep a record that an operation ran — never the filename or the contents.
