What this does
Splitting cuts one PDF into several. You can cut after particular pages, every so many pages, into a number of roughly equal files, or at every top-level bookmark — which is the one that turns a bound report into its chapters, named after them. The pieces come back together as a zip if there are several.
Questions people ask
Can I split at chapters rather than at page numbers?
Yes, if the document has bookmarks. Splitting at every bookmark makes one file per top-level bookmark and names each file after it.
How do I get all the pieces at once?
The results panel offers every file separately and all of them together as a single zip. The zip is packed in this tab, like everything else.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. The work happens in this browser tab, on your own machine. There is no server in this product to send a file to, which is why the promise is checkable rather than something you have to take on trust: open your browser's network panel and watch it do the work without making a request.
Is there a size limit, or a limit on how many files?
None that we impose. The limit is your own machine's memory, because that is where the work happens — a few hundred megabytes is comfortable on a laptop, and less on a phone. There is no daily task counter, no queue and no account.
What does it cost, and what is the catch?
Nothing, and there is no paid tier that unlocks features: the whole product is the free one. That is affordable because running it costs us nothing — your computer does the work — so there is no per-file cost to recover, no advertising and no data to sell.
