Split PDF

Sometimes a single PDF is really two documents stuck together — a contract and its annexures, a report and its appendix, a scanned bundle that should have been two separate files. This tool splits any PDF into two parts at whichever page you choose: everything up to and including that page becomes part one, everything after becomes part two, both downloaded automatically.

Choose your file, see the total page count, and enter the page where the split should happen — page 5 of a 12-page document, for instance, produces a 5-page part one and a 7-page part two. There's no limit on how large the source file can be beyond what your browser's memory allows, and because splitting happens entirely client-side, confidential documents never leave your device.

This is the simplest of the page-management tools here; for more control — pulling out a specific non-contiguous set of pages, or removing particular pages rather than splitting at one point — use the extract or remove-pages tools instead. All three share the same private, in-browser processing.

Splitting is often the first step before two documents go their separate ways — one half to accounting, the other to legal, or one part filed and the other emailed on. Because both output files are generated locally and downloaded straight to your device, there's no server copy of either half sitting around afterward, and no waiting on an upload before you can download anything back.
