How to split

  • Open Split PDF Pages in Half and add your file.
  • Choose left and right for book spreads, or top and bottom.
  • Press Split pages.
  • Download the new PDF, which has twice as many pages.

Page order

Pages come out in reading order: the left half first, then the right half, for every original page.

If the cut is not in the middle

The tool cuts exactly in half. If your scan has uneven margins, crop it first with Crop PDF, then split.
