Frequently asked questions
What does the Burst PDF tool do?
Burst PDF lets you burst a pdf into one pdf per page, delivered as a zip. It runs entirely inside your browser so your files stay on your device — nothing is uploaded to a server.
Is Burst PDF really free to use?
Yes. Burst PDF is 100% free, with no signup, no watermark and no daily limit. You can process as many PDFs as you want.
Do I need to install any software?
No. Burst PDF is a web-based tool that works in any modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox and Brave — on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.
Are my files safe with Burst PDF?
Yes. Burst PDF processes every file on the client side using JavaScript. Your PDF is never uploaded, stored or shared. Close the tab and it's gone.
Does Burst PDF work on mobile devices?
Yes. Burst PDF is fully responsive and works on Android phones, iPhones and iPads. Just open the page in your browser and pick a file.
Is there a file-size limit for Burst PDF?
We recommend files under 100 MB for the smoothest experience. Larger files may work but can slow down older devices because everything is processed in your browser.
Will Burst PDF reduce the quality of my PDF?
Burst PDF keeps the original quality wherever possible. Any quality trade-offs (for example when compressing or exporting to images) are clearly labelled and controlled by you.
Can I use Burst PDF without an internet connection?
You need internet to load the page the first time. After that, most processing happens locally in your browser — the PDF itself never travels over the network.
Does Burst PDF add a watermark?
No. Files produced by Burst PDF are clean, watermark-free and safe to share professionally or submit to official portals.
Can I use Burst PDF for commercial or client work?
Yes. There are no licensing restrictions on the output — use it for freelance projects, agency work, client deliverables or internal business documents.
Which PDF versions does Burst PDF support?
Burst PDF supports standard PDF 1.4–1.7 files created by Word, Google Docs, Adobe Acrobat, printers, scanners and mobile apps. Encrypted PDFs must be unlocked first.
Why is my PDF password-protected file rejected?
For security we don't process encrypted PDFs. Use our PDF Password Remover first (if you have the password), then run the file through Burst PDF.
Can I burst pdf more than one file at once?
Yes — where it makes sense (for example merging or converting), Burst PDF accepts multiple files at once and processes them in a single click.
What browsers work best with Burst PDF?
Any Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera) or the latest Safari and Firefox will give the best speed. Older browsers may lack the modern APIs the tool relies on.
Does Burst PDF keep my PDF's bookmarks and links?
Structural features like bookmarks, hyperlinks and metadata are preserved wherever the operation allows. Conversions to image formats (JPG, PNG, PPT) naturally flatten these into pixels.
How long does Burst PDF take?
Most PDFs under 20 MB finish in a few seconds on a modern laptop or phone. Larger files take proportionally longer because everything is computed on your device.
Can I undo an operation performed by Burst PDF?
Burst PDF never modifies your original file — it creates a new PDF and downloads it. Your source file on disk stays exactly as it was.
Do you store logs of my uploads?
We can't — nothing is uploaded. There are no server logs of your file names or contents because your PDF never leaves the browser tab.
Is Burst PDF better than desktop apps like Adobe Acrobat?
For quick one-off jobs, Burst PDF is faster: no install, no license, no waiting. Acrobat is still the choice for heavy editing workflows — Burst PDF covers 90% of everyday needs.
