Split PDF loads your PDF into memory, applies the change you requested to the underlying data rather than to a screenshot of it, and writes a fresh copy for download. Your original stays untouched on disk, and every step of Split PDF happens inside your browser sandbox.
Frequently asked questions
Can I split by bookmarks?
Yes. If the PDF has an outline, you can split at each bookmark automatically.
Do I download a ZIP?
Multi-file splits download as a ZIP; single-range splits download as one PDF.
Is there a page limit?
There is no hard limit. Very large PDFs (500+ pages) may take a few extra seconds because the split runs entirely on your device.
Are bookmarks preserved in each output?
Yes. Each split output keeps the bookmarks that point to pages inside its range; orphan bookmarks are dropped automatically.
Can I split into equal chunks?
Yes. Choose the fixed-size split mode and set a page count per file (for example every 10 pages).
Does splitting reduce file size?
Each output only carries its own pages and referenced resources, so most splits are smaller than a proportional slice of the original.
