Does this handle high-resolution scanned PDFs smoothly?

Yes. Web Workers manage memory in isolated chunks to prevent browser crashes.

How to split a PDF into parts under 25 MB for email attachments or court portals?

Email services like Gmail and Outlook cap attachments at 25 MB, while government and court filings enforce 10 MB to 25 MB limits. On PDFBlack, select the «By Target Size (MB)» mode, pick the 25 MB preset (or custom size), and our algorithm chunks pages into segments that never exceed the specified MB budget, packaged into a ZIP ready for instant download.

Is there any file size or page limit when splitting PDF documents?

No artificial server limits. Thanks to PDFBlack zero-copy Web Worker architecture, you can split PDF files containing hundreds of pages or large multi-megabyte dossiers directly in your local browser RAM without upload delays or queue wait times.

Will vector graphics, embedded fonts, or text clarity lose quality?

Not at all. Extraction operates at the binary PDF object tree level following ISO 32000-1 specifications. Embedded fonts, hyperlinks, CAD drawing vectors, and data tables are copied losslessly without rasterizing or recompressing images.

How does custom range splitting work and how can I specify them?

You can define multiple independent ranges (e.g. «1-4», «7», «10-15»). Each range generates a separate PDF file, or alternatively, you can check the option to merge all selected ranges into a single unified extracted document.

What is the fixed-size page chunk splitting mode?

Fixed-chunk mode allows you to automatically divide large documents into equal segments (e.g. splitting a 100-page dossier into 10-page chunks). The system partitions all segments and packages them into a ZIP archive ready for 1-click download.

Is it safe to split confidential contracts, medical dossiers, or payroll?

100% confidential and secure. PDFBlack operates with a Zero-Knowledge architecture: zero files or data streams ever leave your device or reach cloud servers. All parsing, partitioning, and packaging runs in local browser memory, complying strictly with GDPR and HIPAA.

Can I split a password-protected PDF file?

Yes. If your document requires an open password, PDFBlack detects the encrypted stream and presents an in-memory unlock drawer so you can authenticate it locally before configuring thumbnails and partitions.

How are split files downloaded when multiple parts are generated?

When splitting produces 2 or more files, PDFBlack instantly packages them into a tidy .ZIP compressed archive for effortless 1-click download. You can also download parts individually if preferred.

Can I extract only even or odd pages from my PDF document?

Yes. Under the Page Extraction tab you have single-click filters to isolate all odd pages (front sides) or even pages (back sides), ideal for scanning workflows and physical duplex print prep.

Does it work on iPhone or Android mobile devices without installing apps?

Yes. PDFBlack is a progressive responsive web app built for mobile Safari, Chrome, and Firefox on phones and tablets, processing all splits in local device memory without native app installation.
