Frequently asked

Is this actually free for students? Yep — free for everyone, no student verification, no trial timer, no watermark on your output. Use it as much as you want during finals week.
Will my PDF stay private? Splitting happens right in your browser, so your thesis draft or financial aid forms aren't uploaded to a server you don't control.
Can I split a password-protected PDF? You'll need to unlock it first with the password. Once it's open, you can split, rearrange, or extract pages like any other file.
What if my PDF is huge? Big textbook scans work fine, but if it's slowing your laptop down, try our compress pdf tool first to shrink it before splitting.
Can I turn the split pages into images? Sure — after splitting, run the result through our pdf to jpg tool to drop pages straight into a slide deck or essay.
My PDF is a scanned book — can I search the text after splitting? Scanned PDFs are basically pictures. Run them through our pdf ocr tool first and you'll get searchable, copyable text in your split file.
Can I sign the pages I extract? Pull out the form or release page you need, then send it through our pdf signer to add your signature without printing anything.
