Frequently Asked Questions
What does "split by page range" mean?
It means you extract only the pages you specify from a larger PDF. For example, if you have a 50-page report and you only want pages 10–20, the tool extracts those 11 pages into a new PDF file.
Can I enter multiple page ranges at once?
Yes. You can combine individual pages and ranges using commas, like 1,3,5-9,12. All specified pages will be combined into a single output PDF in the original order.
Does the tool reorder my pages?
No. Pages are always output in their original document order, regardless of the order you type the ranges.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser using the pdf-lib JavaScript library. Your file never leaves your device.
What's the maximum file size?
There is no hard limit imposed by the tool. Very large PDFs (500MB+) may be slow depending on your device's memory and browser, but most typical PDFs process in seconds.
Will the output PDF have watermarks?
Never. Flipper File adds no watermarks, stamps, or branding of any kind to your output files.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
If the PDF has an owner password (print restrictions), pdf-lib can usually still read it. If it has a user password (requires a password to open), you'll need to unlock it first.
What if I enter an invalid page range?
The tool validates your input before processing. If you enter a page number higher than the document's actual page count, or invalid syntax, you'll see a clear error message with guidance on how to fix it.
