How does the Split Dual-Page Spread to Single Pages work?

Book and magazine scans frequently store every 2-page spread as a single wide PDF page. To get single pages back (for ebook reflow, reading-app compatibility, or per-page processing), this tool cuts each landscape page down the middle into two portrait pages. Auto mode only splits landscape pages — pages already in portrait orientation are passed through untouched. RTL languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese tategaki) need the right half first; pick that in the order option.

🔒 Security & Privacy

All processing happens on your device. Your files never leave your browser, never touch our servers, and are not stored anywhere. Close the tab and the file is gone.

📱 Use it on any device

Works in any modern browser — Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android, and tablets. No installation, no app to download. Just open the page and start.

⚡ Quick & easy

Drag, drop, click. Most files process in seconds, not minutes. No watermarks added to your output, no per-day limits, and the tool always shows the result before asking you to download.

🎁 Always free, no signup

Free to use, every time. No account creation, no email required, no “trial” that converts to a paid plan. We make money from ads so you don’t have to pay.

Frequently asked

Pick "Always horizontal" — the tool will cut each page at the vertical middle into top and bottom halves.
