Frequently Asked Questions

What PDF files are supported?
Any standard PDF file (not encrypted with an owner password). We support PDFs of any size – the only limit is your device’s memory.
Can I extract multiple ranges at once?
Yes – use commas and hyphens. Example: 1-3,5,7-9 extracts pages 1,2,3,5,7,8,9. You can also mix single pages and ranges.
Does this tool work offline?
Yes – after the first visit, the page is fully cached. Disconnect from Wi‑Fi and it still works perfectly. No internet required.
Is there a limit on file size?
No artificial limit. However, very large PDFs (100MB+) may be slower on older devices. For extreme cases, we recommend using our Compress PDF tool first.
Are my files private?
Absolutely. Everything runs in your browser – no server, no upload. Your PDF never leaves your device. We never see, store, or transmit your documents.
Can I split a PDF into multiple files with custom names?
Currently files are named automatically (e.g. filename_page_1.pdf). Custom naming is not yet supported, but you can rename them after download.
Do you also offer PDF merging?
Yes! Check out our Merge PDF tool – also 100% client‑side and private.
