Frequently asked questions
Is Word Splitter free to use?
Yes. Word Splitter is completely free with no account, no trial and no usage cap. Every feature on this page is available on the first visit.
Does Word Splitter upload your text to a server?
No. Word Splitter processes your text inside your browser, so it never reaches a DocTools server. That also means the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-task.
Is there a file size limit?
The practical ceiling is your device's available memory rather than a server quota. Files up to roughly 100 MB work comfortably on a typical laptop in Word Splitter.
Do I need to install anything to use Word Splitter?
No installation is needed. Word Splitter runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and on mobile, with no extension or plugin.
Can I use Word Splitter on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The Word Splitter interface adapts to small screens and supports touch input, though very large jobs are faster on a desktop browser.
What happens to your text when I close the tab?
It is discarded. Word Splitter keeps everything in temporary browser memory, so closing the tab removes every trace of the session.
