Frequently asked questions

Is splitting a PDF by QR code free?
Yes. The tool is completely free to use. There are no hidden charges, no watermarks added to your files, and no account required.
Is it safe and private?
Your file is only used to perform the split you requested and is not shared with anyone. No signup is needed, so you don't hand over an email or personal details to split your document.
Are there any limits?
You can split your scanned PDFs for free without creating an account. Very large files may take a bit longer to process since every page has to be checked for a QR code.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The tool runs in your browser, so it works on Android phones, iPhones, tablets, and desktop computers without installing an app.
Will splitting reduce the quality of my pages?
No. Your scanned pages are kept as they are in the output PDFs. The tool only cuts the document at the QR separators and removes those separator pages, it does not re-compress or downgrade your scans.
What kind of QR separator do I need?
Place a page with a QR code between each document before scanning. The tool reads those pages as separators and starts a new file after each one.
