Frequently asked questions
Is splitting a PDF on PDFMax free?
Yes, it's completely free. You can split as many PDFs as you like with no account, no subscription, and no watermark added to your files.
Is it safe and private?
Yes. There's no signup, your files are processed securely over an encrypted connection, and they aren't kept or shared. Once you've downloaded your split files, you're done.
Is there a file size or page limit?
PDFMax handles typical documents - including long, multi-hundred-page files - with ease. Very large or heavy scanned files may take a little longer to process, but there's no signup tier blocking you.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. The Split PDF tool runs in your mobile browser on iPhone and Android, with the same range, every-N-pages, and bookmark options as on desktop. No app to install.
Will splitting reduce the quality of my PDF?
No. Splitting only separates pages into new files - it doesn't recompress or alter them, so text, images, and formatting stay exactly as they were in the original.
Can I extract just specific pages instead of splitting everything?
Yes. Enter the exact pages or ranges you want (for example 3, 7, 10-12) to pull out only those pages into a new PDF and leave the rest behind.
