How does client-side PDF splitting work?

Using WebAssembly and pdfjs-dist directly in your browser, your document is rendered and split locally without sending byte streams to any remote servers.

Are visual thumbnails generated securely?

Yes. Each page thumbnail is rendered to a transient HTML5 canvas in your local device memory.

Can I select non-consecutive page ranges?

Yes. Enter custom ranges like 1-3, 5, 8-10 in the page range input or click individual thumbnails.

Is there any document page or file size limit?

GoPDF allows splitting PDF files up to 100MB directly in your browser.

Can I extract non-consecutive page ranges?

Yes. You can select any combination of non-contiguous pages either visually by clicking individual cards or via the Custom Range input using commas and hyphens (e.g., '1-3, 5, 8, 11-14').

Is client-side PDF splitting safe for confidential and sensitive files?

Absolutely. Unlike traditional PDF conversion websites that send your document to third-party servers, GoPDF processes everything locally inside your browser's WebAssembly and HTML5 Canvas sandbox. Your sensitive data never leaves your device.

Does splitting or extracting modify my original PDF file?

No. Your original file remains untouched on your device. The extractor reads the pages in memory and generates an entirely separate PDF containing only the extracted pages.
