Questions

My PDF has nested bookmarks. Which level is used?

You choose. Level 1 gives one file per top-level chapter; deeper levels give finer splits.

What if the file has no bookmarks?

The tool tells you so rather than guessing. Try Split by Text if your chapters start with a recognisable heading.

Security note

Files are checked to be what they claim (by content, not extension), processed in a sandboxed worker with no network, and deleted on the schedule your plan sets. We do not run antivirus and do not claim to — please do not upload files you do not trust. Read the security page.
