Frequently asked questions
Can I split a PDF into individual pages?
Yes. Select individual-page splitting in the editor to create a separate PDF for each page.
Does splitting change text quality?
No. Pages are copied as PDF pages, rather than flattened into low-resolution images.
Do multiple output files arrive in a ZIP?
Multiple separate outputs can be packaged as a ZIP; a single extracted document is a PDF.
What is the free upload limit?
Guests can upload files up to 25 MB each. A free account raises the limit to 50 MB per file, and Premium allows 500 MB per file with larger batches.
Are my pages retained on your servers?
Uploads are encrypted in transit and automatically deleted after a short time.
