Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I specify which pages to extract?
- Enter page numbers separated by commas and use dashes for ranges. For example, "1-3, 5, 8-10" extracts pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, and 10. You can also use the quick buttons to select all pages, first page, last page, odd pages, or even pages.
- Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
- No. PDFArc processes your files entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your PDF never leaves your device — no uploads, no server storage, complete privacy.
- Can I split a password-protected PDF?
- Password-protected PDFs cannot be processed. You need to remove the password protection first using your PDF reader, then use PDFArc to split the file.
- Is there a page limit?
- There is no hard limit on the number of pages. Since processing happens in your browser, very large PDFs (hundreds of pages) may take longer depending on your device.
