How do I choose which pages to keep?
Type a 1-indexed spec such as 1-3, 5, 8-10. You can mix ranges and single pages separated by commas.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The browser tool extracts pages locally on your device, so nothing is uploaded or stored. The API processes files in memory and deletes them immediately after the response.
Can I split one PDF into several files?
Each run extracts one set of pages into a new file. Run it again with a different page spec to produce the other parts.
Is there a page limit?
No fixed limit. Very large files depend on your device's memory, since the work happens locally.
Can I split PDFs programmatically?
Yes. Call the /v1/split endpoint with your API key and a pages spec to extract pages from your own code.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. It runs in any modern browser with nothing to install.
