Sometimes a PDF is just way too big. If a file has lots of pages, it might be too heavy to send in an email.

Splitting a PDF means chopping it into smaller chunks. You can slice it right down the middle, or break it into smaller files so they are light enough to email.

To cut your file up, use our simple Split PDF tool. You get to decide exactly where to make the cuts.

Now you are in full control of your big documents. Stop worrying about email size limits and start sharing exactly what you want to share.
