What's the difference between the three split modes?

Extract Pages pulls selected pages into a single new PDF. Split by Ranges creates one PDF per range you define. Split Every Page creates a separate one-page PDF for every page in the document.

How do I select specific pages?

Type a list like "1,3,5-8,10" in the pages field, or click directly on the page thumbnails to toggle them.

Will I get a ZIP file?

Only when a mode produces more than one output file. A single extracted PDF downloads directly with no ZIP step.

Is there a page limit?

No hard limit, though very large PDFs (hundreds of pages) will take a little longer to render thumbnails for.
