FAQ

Everything you need to know about the Split PDF.

Can I extract specific pages?

Yes — enter any range like 1-3,5,8-10.

Is my file uploaded?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser.

What is the file size limit?

Process files up to the browser memory limit.

Can I split into equal parts?

Yes — specify number of pages per part and all parts are generated automatically.

Are page numbering and bookmarks preserved?

Content is preserved; embedded bookmarks pointing to split-off pages are removed.

Will the original formatting be preserved?

Yes. pdf-lib copies pages at the PDF specification level — fonts, images, vector graphics, annotations, and embedded content are preserved exactly. No re-rendering or re-compression occurs.

Can I split password-protected PDFs?

No — protected PDFs must be unlocked first. Use our PDF Unlocker tool to remove the password, then return here to split. Both tools run entirely in your browser.

Is Refinata better than iLovePDF for splitting PDFs?

Refinata offers three advantages: (1) Your PDF never leaves your device — zero upload. (2) Visual page selection with local thumbnails — iLovePDF must upload before showing previews. (3) Four split modes vs. iLovePDF's three. The split quality is identical since both use PDF specification-level page copying.
