Can I use this on a scanned/image PDF? ▾
Yes. The splitter works on any valid PDF regardless of content — scanned documents, image-only PDFs, or text-based PDFs are all supported. The tool copies pages as-is without any re-rendering.
What is the maximum file size? ▾
There is no hard limit. Very large PDFs (hundreds of pages) may take a few seconds to load thumbnails, but extraction itself is fast. The limiting factor is your device's RAM; most PDFs under 200 MB work fine on modern devices.
Does this work with password-protected PDFs? ▾
No. Password-protected PDFs cannot be loaded. You would need to remove the password first using another tool, then upload the unlocked file here.
Are my files sent to a server? ▾
No — your PDF never leaves your device. All processing happens in your browser using open-source JavaScript libraries (pdf-lib and PDF.js). There is no backend.
