Frequently Asked Questions

How are my PDF files processed and split secure client-side?

This utility runs entirely on top of the browser environment. Using pdf-lib, pages are read, extracted, compiled, and encoded locally into new sub-documents right in your current browser tab. No bytes of your document are ever sent to external cloud resources, offering pure privacy.

Can I split the document into separate individual page files at once?

Yes, the "Split into single pages" mode will automatically loop through every page index of your uploaded PDF, build distinct single-page documents, compile them into a parent ZIP archive using high-speed JSZip processing, and trigger a download for the ZIP immediately.

How does Custom page ranges splitting work?

You can write typical range notation like "1-3, 5, 7-9" (comma separated). The extractor will compile page indices corresponding to each separate segment into distinct PDF documents, package them in a ZIP, and present download handles for them. Selected ranges can also be saved individually.

Can I download an individual page directly from the workspace?

Yes! Under the Workspace Grid view, every page contains its own "Save" button. Clicking this button compiles that isolated page into an independent PDF and grabs it instantly, saving you time from setting up bulk ranges.
