Frequently asked questions
How do I write page ranges?
Use commas between ranges and a dash inside a range: 1-3, 5, 8-10. A range like 8- means page 8 to the end. In "Split into ranges" mode, each comma-separated range becomes its own PDF.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Pages are split in your browser, on your own device.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied exactly — text stays sharp and selectable.
How do I get many files at once?
When the split creates more than one PDF, they're bundled into a single ZIP file for one download.
