Frequently asked questions
Can I split a PDF into more than two files?
Yes. Split the document into two parts, then split one of those parts again to create as many pieces as you need.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied exactly with no loss of quality.
Do my files get uploaded to a server?
Never. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your document stays on your device.
Can I split a password protected PDF?
You may need to remove the password first, as encrypted files can block editing.
