Frequently asked questions
How does PDF splitting work in the browser?▼
The tool uses pdf-lib to read your file locally and extract the pages you specify into a new PDF. Nothing is uploaded — the entire operation happens on your device.
Can I extract specific pages from a PDF?▼
Yes. You can specify individual pages, ranges (e.g., 1-5), or a combination. Each extraction creates a separate downloadable PDF.
Does splitting a PDF reduce file size?▼
The resulting file only contains the pages you selected, so it will typically be smaller than the original. However, shared resources like embedded fonts are preserved, so the size reduction may not be strictly proportional to page count.
