Is it safe to use Split PDF with private files?

Can I use Split PDF on a phone or tablet?
Yes. Split PDF runs in a modern mobile browser, and because the file is processed on your device nothing is uploaded. Keep the tab open until it finishes — larger files are still easier to review on a bigger screen.
Is there a maximum file size for Split PDF?
Because Split PDF works in your browser, the practical limit is your device's available memory rather than an upload cap. If a very large file stalls, close other tabs or split the work into smaller parts.
Does Split PDF change my original file?
No — your original file stays unchanged. Split PDF saves separate PDF files in a ZIP as a separate download.
How long does Split PDF take?
It depends on your device. Small files finish almost instantly, while large page counts, high-resolution images, and complex layouts take longer because everything is computed locally in your browser.
Why did my Split PDF job fail or look different?
A password-protected PDF must be unlocked before its pages can be split. Also confirm that the source file is not damaged, uses a supported format, and is not blocked by an unknown password.
