Split PDF for researchers
Updated July 2026
Arthize lets researchers and academics 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 researchers split a PDF
A researcher merges a paper with its appendices, extracts a results table into Excel for re-analysis, and compresses the figure-heavy submission under a journal's upload limit — privately.
Built for papers. Whether it's papers, datasets, appendices, Arthize's split pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Unpublished work and grant applications are confidential; a private workspace keeps them out of public tools.
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.
