Short, plain answers about splitting PDFs in the browser: where to cut, what page ranges mean, and what happens to the files you get.

• How to split a PDF file

  What splitting a PDF really means, how to choose where it cuts, and how to check the resulting files before you save them.

• How to split a PDF by page ranges

  What a page range is, how each range becomes its own PDF, and the four mistakes — gaps, overlaps, reversed and out-of-range — worth checking first.

• How to save every PDF page as a separate file

  How a twelve-page PDF becomes twelve files, when that is the right move, and why one ZIP beats a dozen separate downloads.

• Split PDF vs extract pages: what's the difference?

  Splitting divides a document into sequential parts; extracting gathers chosen pages into one new file. Plus where deleting, organising and merging fit.

• How to split a PDF without uploading it

  Two ways a PDF splitter can work: the file travels to a server, or the work happens in the page. What each one means for a document you would rather not send.
