Split
Two modes: Chunk mode splits by fixed page count (a 100-page PDF at chunk size 20 = 5 files). Visual mode lets you click between page thumbnails to place split points exactly where needed. Output downloads as a zip archive of individual PDFs.
Divides a multi-page PDF into smaller files, each containing a set number of pages.

Options Guide
Split Settings
Set how many pages each output file should contain.
Chunk mode: every output file gets the same number of pages (the last file may have fewer if the total doesn't divide evenly). Visual mode: click between page thumbnails to place split boundaries manually — useful when chapters or sections don't have uniform page counts.

Configurations & Variations
Split into 2-Page Chunks
Set chunk size to 2 to split the document into separate files of 2 pages each. A 16-page document becomes 8 files. Use this to separate reader spreads into individual sheets, or to break a large document into signature-sized chunks for parallel processing.

Expert Tip
Split large-format pages into press-sheet-sized tiles with 10 mm overlap for accurate reassembly. 10 mm is the standard for most wide-format tiling jobs.
When splitting a booklet spread back into single pages, split at the exact spine position. Even 1 pt off will show as a white line at the bind edge.
