Split PDF for authors
Updated July 2026
Arthize lets authors and self-publishers split a PDF in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Splitting a PDF breaks one document into the pieces you need — by page range, by fixed interval, or one file per page — with no quality loss.
Why authors split a PDF
An author merges manuscript chapters into one file, resizes the pages to the print trim size, and exports a clean, watermark-free PDF for the printer.
Built for manuscripts. Whether it's manuscripts, proofs, cover files, Arthize's split pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Unpublished manuscripts are valuable IP; private processing keeps them off public servers.
What matters when you split a PDF
Splitting is lossless because each output keeps the original page objects.
You can extract just a few pages into a new file while leaving the original untouched.
One-file-per-page mode bursts a document into individual pages in a single pass.
