How do I split a PDF into individual pages?

Choose the 'Every N pages' option and set it to 1. This creates a separate PDF for each page in your document.

Can I split by bookmarks?

Currently, splitting is done by page numbers. Check your PDF's table of contents for page numbers corresponding to bookmarks.

What's the largest PDF I can split?

Since processing happens locally, limits depend on your device. Most computers handle PDFs up to 100MB or 500 pages comfortably.

Are my split files identical quality to the original?

Yes, splitting extracts pages exactly as they exist in the original. No recompression or quality loss occurs.
