Features
- Split by outline (bookmarks)
- Automatically split a document at its table-of-contents headings. Choose which heading level to split on — Level 1 for top-level chapters, or deeper levels for more granular sections. Output files are named after the section titles.
- Mid-page split for outline mode
- When splitting by outline, enable mid-page splitting to filter page content so sections don't share pages. Disable it to keep full pages intact even when multiple sections start on the same page.
- Manual split with visual markers
- Click the scissors icon between any two page thumbnails to place a split point. Toggle split markers on and off to create exactly the file boundaries you need.
- Split by page count
- Enter a page count and the document is automatically divided into equal-sized chunks. The last file contains any remaining pages.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I split a PDF into single pages?
- Yes. Choose the Individual Pages mode and each page becomes its own PDF file.
- How does split by outline work?
- The tool reads your PDF's bookmark tree (table of contents). You choose which heading level to split at — for example, Level 1 splits at chapter headings, Level 2 also splits at sub-sections. Each section becomes its own file, named after the heading title.
- What if my PDF has no bookmarks?
- The outline mode requires bookmarks in the PDF. If your document has no outline, the option is automatically disabled and you can use the other three split modes instead.
- Are my files uploaded anywhere?
- No. Everything runs in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device.
- Does splitting affect the quality of my PDF?
- No. Pages are extracted directly without re-rendering, so text, images, and vector graphics remain at full quality.
