Split PDF by Size

Choose a PDF, set the maximum size per part, and the document is split into consecutive parts that stay under the limit — for email attachments and upload caps. One honest exception: if a single page is bigger than your limit all by itself, it forms its own part and the result report flags it clearly (a page cannot be split further — compress it first if it must fit). Parts download as a ZIP (or a single PDF if everything fits in one part). Runs fully in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Too big to email? Set the cap and get back tidy consecutive parts, each one under it, ready to send one by one.

UNDERSTAND YOUR RESULTS

Split PDF by Size — Parts Under Your Cap, as a ZIP guide

Split a PDF into consecutive parts that stay under a size limit you set — for email attachment caps and upload limits. Parts come as a ZIP of PDFs, or a single PDF if it already fits. A single page that exceeds the cap on its own is flagged honestly in the result, never passed off as under it.

How to use this tool

  1. Choose or drop your PDF — its size and page count are shown.
  2. Set the maximum size per part and the unit (KB or MB) — 500 KB suits strict web forms; 10–20 MB suits email.
  3. Click Split by size & download. Parts are packed page by page: a part closes when the next page would break the cap. The result lists every part’s real measured size and flags any part that had to exceed the cap.

A worked example

A 9 MB survey PDF must go through a form capped at 2 MB per file. Split at 2 MB, it becomes five sequential parts, each under the cap, each named and in order — five uploads later, the whole survey has arrived.

How it works

The splitter measures honestly: it test-builds each candidate part with the PDF library and weighs the actual bytes, rather than guessing from the input file — because a page’s share of a PDF is not its size divided by page count (shared fonts and images distort naive maths). A single page bigger than the cap goes into a part of its own and that part exceeds the cap by necessity; the packing still keeps every other part under.

Frequently asked questions

Why not just split by page count?

Because pages are not equal: one photo page can outweigh thirty text pages. Only measuring real parts guarantees each file passes the upload check.

A part came out over my cap — why?

A single page in it exceeds the cap on its own, and a page cannot be split further. Compress that part (Compress PDF) or send it by another route.

What are the parts named?

Your file’s name plus -part-1, -part-2, … inside the ZIP (or as the single PDF when one part suffices), so they sort and send in order.

Can the recipient rejoin them?

Yes — Merge PDF rejoins the parts in order into the original sequence.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. Splitting happens in your browser.
