The files are generated on the spot and bundled into a zip archive. The open document stays intact, so you can split it another way.

Splitting a PDF: frequently asked questions
Can I extract a single page from a PDF?
Yes. Choose split by ranges and just type the page number, or tick it in the Organise tool and use "Extract selection": you get a standalone PDF, with its text and layout intact.
Is the PDF sent to your servers?
No. Splitting is done entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is kept: the file stays on your device from start to finish.
Is there a page or size limit?
The reader opens PDFs up to 150 MB, with no limit on the number of pages: a document of several hundred pages splits without trouble.
Do extracted pages keep their quality?
Yes. Pages are copied without re-encoding: selectable text, images, links and fonts are strictly identical to the original.
Can I split a PDF from my phone?
Yes. The tool works in recent browsers on Android, iPhone and iPad, with nothing to install and the same privacy as on a computer.
Does this PDF need to be signed?
Send it for electronic signature in minutes: your signers sign from their phone, without creating an account.
