Split PDFs by Chapters

The Split PDFs by Chapters tool lets you divide a long PDF into separate files based on chapters or logical sections. Instead of working with one heavy document, you can break it into smaller, well-organized PDFs that are easier to read, share, and manage.

This tool is ideal for structured documents like books, manuals, reports, and study materials.

Why Split PDFs by Chapters?

Large PDFs can be hard to navigate, especially when you only need one section at a time. Splitting by chapters keeps everything clean and organized.

You can use this tool to:

  • Create individual PDFs for each chapter
  • Share specific sections without sending the full file
  • Improve document navigation and clarity
  • Manage long files more efficiently

It removes the need for manual page selection.
