Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the PDF Splitter tool do?
It allows you to upload a multi-page PDF document, visually select the specific pages you want to keep, and save those chosen pages as a brand new PDF file.
2. Is my document uploaded to your server?
No. Photocopywale operates entirely on client-side technology. Your PDF file is processed securely within your own web browser's memory and is never uploaded to any remote server.
3. Will extracting pages reduce the quality of my PDF?
Not at all. The tool securely copies the exact binary data of the selected pages from the original document into the new one. The text clarity, images, and formatting remain 100% identical.
4. Can I select non-consecutive pages?
Yes! You can click on page 1, skip a few, and then click on page 5 or 10. The final extracted PDF will merge them smoothly in the exact numerical order of the original document.
5. Does this tool cost anything or add watermarks?
No. The PDF Splitter is 100% free to use. There are no daily limits, hidden subscriptions, or promotional watermarks stamped onto your exported documents.
6. How do I know which pages I am selecting?
Upon uploading your PDF, our tool generates a visual thumbnail grid of all pages. You can see a low-resolution preview of every page before clicking to select it.
7. Can I extract pages from a password-protected PDF?
If the PDF has a strict open password, you must remove it first. However, if the PDF only has basic editing/printing restrictions, our system can typically bypass them and extract the pages securely.
8. Does this tool work on smartphones and tablets?
Yes, our interface is fully mobile-responsive. You can easily upload, tap to select pages, and download the new PDF directly on your Android or iOS device.
9. Is there a size limit for the uploaded PDF?
Because the processing happens in your browser, there is no server-imposed size limit. The maximum file size depends entirely on your device's available RAM and processing power.
10. How is the final file downloaded?
Once you click 'Extract & Download', the tool compiles your selected pages and instantly downloads them as a single, standard PDF file directly to your default downloads folder.
