Split PDF Into Two Files
Use Custom ranges to decide where the first file ends and the second begins, or, to split PDF in half, use Every N pages with half the page count. Either way you see a preview of each part's first and last page before you split, and the work happens in your browser.

How to split a PDF into two parts
- 1Select the PDF.
- 2In Custom ranges, set Range 1 from page 1 to the last page of the first part, for example 1 to 12.
- 3Tap Add range. The second range fills in automatically from the next page to the end.
- 4Check the preview of both parts, press Split PDF and download the two files.
Good to know
- For an exact half, choose Every N pages and enter half the total, such as 10 for a 20-page file. With an odd count, round up (11 for 21 pages) so you get two files, not three.
- The tool shows how many files will be created before you split, so a wrong number is easy to catch.
- Need one file with only some of the pages? Use Pick pages instead.

How do I cut a PDF exactly in half?
Choose Every N pages and enter half the page count, rounding up for odd numbers. The preview shows both halves before you split.
Is it free?
