Questions about Split PDF

Is Split PDF free to use?

Yes. Split PDF is free and unlimited, with no account needed. Split as many files as you like, as often as you like. Because the work happens on your device, the only practical limit is memory. Around 1 GB of PDFs is comfortable on a computer, and a phone handles less.

Does Split PDF upload my file?

No. Split PDF works inside your browser, so your file and every part you create stay on your device. Nothing is sent to our servers at any point. That matters when the file is a contract, a medical record or anything else you'd rather not hand over to a website.

How do I split a PDF into specific page ranges?

Open Split PDF, add your file and choose page ranges. Type the ranges you want, for example pages 1 to 3 for one file and pages 4 to 10 for another. Each range becomes its own PDF. Press Split PDF and download the new files when they're ready.

Will the split files look the same as the original?

Yes. Split PDF copies pages into the new files without converting or compressing them, so text, images and layout look exactly as they did before. Each part is an ordinary PDF that opens in any reader. Your original file is not changed, so you can always split it again a different way.

Can I split a PDF on my phone or Mac?

Yes. Split PDF works in any modern browser on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux and Chromebook. There's nothing to download or install. On a phone, a very large file may be slow or too big for the browser's memory, so a computer is the better choice for big jobs.

Can I split a PDF to fit an email or upload size limit?

Yes. In Split PDF, choose split by file size and set the size you need, such as the limit on an upload portal. Wispdf cuts the file into parts that aim to stay under it. Splitting can't shrink a single page that is already bigger than the limit, so use Compress PDF for that.
