How do I enter multiple page ranges?

Use commas to separate ranges and single pages, e.g. 1-5,8,12-20. The tool extracts those pages in the order you list, without renumbering the original document.

What is the difference between split-each and a range?

Range mode creates one new PDF containing only those pages. Split-each outputs one PDF per page, usually bundled in a ZIP so you can download everything at once.

Will page quality drop when I split?

Splitting copies existing page content without re-encoding images or fonts, so visual quality matches the source file.

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

Unlock the file first if your browser prompts for a password. After decryption, splitting works like any other PDF.

Are my documents uploaded?

No. Splitting runs locally in your browser with pdf-lib-style processing, so contracts and medical records stay on your device.

Does ZIP download work on mobile?

Most modern phones open ZIP in Files or a download manager; if not, use split on desktop or a single-range PDF instead.

What if my PDF has hundreds of pages?

Very large files consume RAM; split in batches (e.g. chapters) to avoid browser tab crashes.

Do links and bookmarks survive?

Internal links may still point to original page numbers; verify cross-references if you redistribute a subset.
