# Divide Pages
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Cut individual PDF pages into halves by splitting them horizontally or vertically. This is useful when a single page contains content that should be separated into distinct pages -- for example, a two-column layout scanned as one wide page.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How It Works
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Upload a PDF file.
|
||
|
|
2. Select the split direction: **Vertical** (left/right halves) or **Horizontal** (top/bottom halves).
|
||
|
|
3. Optionally specify a page range to limit which pages get divided. Leave blank to divide all pages.
|
||
|
|
4. Click the process button to generate the divided PDF.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Features
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Vertical split: divides each page into left and right halves
|
||
|
|
- Horizontal split: divides each page into top and bottom halves
|
||
|
|
- Page range filter to selectively divide specific pages
|
||
|
|
- Non-targeted pages pass through unchanged
|
||
|
|
- Preserves content quality without re-rendering
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Use Cases
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Separating two-up scanned pages (e.g., a book scan with left and right pages on one sheet)
|
||
|
|
- Splitting a landscape PDF with side-by-side content into individual portrait pages
|
||
|
|
- Dividing tall infographics or posters into separate top and bottom sections
|
||
|
|
- Preparing wide-format documents for standard paper printing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Tips
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- If your pages have unequal content distribution, the split still happens at the exact midpoint. For asymmetric splits, consider [Crop PDF](./crop-pdf) instead.
|
||
|
|
- Combine this tool with [Rotate PDF](./rotate-pdf) if your pages need rotation before or after dividing.
