FAQ
How do I write a range?
Use commas and dashes — e.g. 1-3,5,8-10 gives pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10.
Can I split a PDF in half?
Yes — pick range 1–N/2 and N/2+1–N, or use "each page separately" and recombine as you like.
Are files uploaded?
No. Splitting runs in your browser via WebAssembly.
Do split files keep text and links?
Yes. Searchable text, fonts, links and form fields carry over.
Does it work for big PDFs?
Yes, hundreds of pages work fine on a typical laptop or phone.
