Are my files safe with Split PDF by Pages?

Does Split PDF by Pages work on mobile devices?
Yes. Split PDF by Pages 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 Split PDF by Pages?
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 Split PDF by Pages reduce the quality of my PDF?
Split PDF by Pages 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 Split PDF by Pages 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 Split PDF by Pages add a watermark?
No. Files produced by Split PDF by Pages are clean, watermark-free and safe to share professionally or submit to official portals.
Can I use Split PDF by Pages 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 Split PDF by Pages support?
Split PDF by Pages 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 Split PDF by Pages.
Can I split pdf by pages more than one file at once?
Yes — where it makes sense (for example merging or converting), Split PDF by Pages accepts multiple files at once and processes them in a single click.
What browsers work best with Split PDF by Pages?
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 Split PDF by Pages 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 Split PDF by Pages 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 Split PDF by Pages?
Split PDF by Pages 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 Split PDF by Pages better than desktop apps like Adobe Acrobat?
For quick one-off jobs, Split PDF by Pages is faster: no install, no license, no waiting. Acrobat is still the choice for heavy editing workflows — Split PDF by Pages covers 90% of everyday needs.
