Divide PDF Pages in Half
Slice every page down the middle and turn each half into its own page. Choose horizontal to separate top from bottom, or vertical to split left from right — a quick fix for two-up scans, landscape spreads captured as a single page, or oversized sheets that need to fit a smaller format. The document doubles in page count with halves kept in reading order. Cutting happens locally in your browser, so the file stays private.

Frequently asked questions
What order do the halves appear in?
For each original page, the first half comes first — top before bottom for horizontal cuts, left before right for vertical cuts — preserving natural reading order.
Is this the same as splitting a PDF?
No. Splitting separates whole pages into separate files, while dividing cuts each page itself into two smaller pages inside one document.
Will content on the halves be cut off?
Each half page shows exactly its portion of the original page via adjusted page boundaries — nothing is scaled or lost, just divided.
