How to split pdf in half in 3 steps

  1. Add the scanned PDF

    Spread scans and A3 sheets work best.

  2. Pick the cut direction

    Vertical for facing pages, horizontal to separate stacked content.

  3. Download the two halves

    Each part is saved as its own PDF.

Use Divide Pages when a document needs to be reshaped rather than rewritten — assembling a report from several PDFs, pulling one chapter out of a 200-page manual, or dropping the blank backs a scanner added. Because everything is processed page by page on your own machine, the file sizes and page counts you can handle are limited by your browser, not by an upload quota.

No upload

Your one PDF are read locally with JavaScript and WebAssembly — for this tool, nothing is sent to a server.

No signup

No account, no email, no credit card, no trial to remember.

No watermark

What you download is the real file — clean, unmarked and print-ready.
