Split PDF in Half
Divide a PDF into two equal halves
How to use Split PDF in Half
Divide a document into two page groups, or cut selected pages into left/right or top/bottom areas while retaining original PDF text and images.
- Choose a PDF and select document splitting, left/right cuts, or top/bottom cuts.
- Choose a balanced or custom page boundary, or position the page-cut line with optional overlap. Review the source and both output plans.
- Create the two PDFs, preview each half, and download individual files or the complete ZIP.
What to check before using the result
Page cuts follow the displayed page geometry, including rotation, and can cut text crossing the chosen line. Cropping changes the visible area while retaining underlying content, so it does not reliably reduce file size. Internal links need a destination inside the same output and visible half.
