How do I split a PDF into two separate files?

Upload your PDF to FixTools PDF Splitter, enter the page number where you want to divide the document, then click Split. Two PDF files are created — one for each half.

Can I choose an unequal split point?

Yes. You can split at any page — page 1, the middle, or the second-to-last page. The split point does not need to be at the halfway mark.

What if I only want the first half of a PDF?

Use the page range extraction option instead and enter pages 1 through your desired last page. Only that section will be exported.

Will both output files have the correct page numbers?

The page content is preserved exactly. Internally embedded page numbers in the PDF will remain as-is. FixTools does not renumber pages.

Is this useful for splitting a book PDF into two volumes?

Yes — splitting long PDF books, manuals, or reports into two sections is a common use case. FixTools handles it in seconds without any software installation.
