Split a PDF in half
Splitting a PDF "in half" usually means separating a double-sided scan, breaking a long document into two manageable files, or peeling a combined front/back set apart. Switch the mode to custom ranges below and enter two groups that meet in the middle: for a 20-page file that is "1-10, 11-20", and for an odd 21-page file decide where the break falls, e.g. "1-11, 12-21". You will get two separate PDFs, delivered together in a zip, with every page kept at full quality and in order. If you are not sure of the total page count, open the file first to check, then set the midpoint. The split runs entirely in your browser, so the document stays on your device and nothing is uploaded. There is no signup and no watermark, and you can re-run with a different midpoint as many times as you need.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I find the middle page to split on?
- Open the PDF and note its page count, then enter two ranges that split there, e.g. "1-15, 16-30" for a 30-page file.
- What if the PDF has an odd number of pages?
- Pick which half gets the extra page, e.g. "1-11, 12-21" for 21 pages. The tool splits exactly where you tell it.
