Frequently Asked Questions

Can I split pages at a fixed interval?
Yes! Use the "Split every N pages" feature located in the top toolbar. Simply enter a number (e.g., 5) and check the box to automatically divide your PDF into chunks of that size.
How do I set multiple split points manually?
Simply click on the thumbnails of the pages where you want the document to be cut. Each click adds a new split point, marked by a colored border. You can add as many split points as you need.
Is there a page limit?
There is no artificial limit. We support documents with 200+ pages and more. The only limitation is your device's available memory and processing power.
Does rotating a page affect the final file?
Yes. If you rotate a page using the rotate icon, that rotation is permanently applied to the page in the final downloaded PDF.
Is my file uploaded to your server?
No. CedarPDF uses advanced browser technology to process your PDF locally on your device. Your file never leaves your computer or phone.
Can I delete pages before splitting?
Absolutely. Click the Delete (✕) icon on any thumbnail to remove that page from the final output.
