Split PDF: Arthize vs Smallpdf

Updated July 2026

To split a PDF, Arthize offers a free, private split pdf with no watermark — a focused alternative to Smallpdf. 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.

Arthize's split pdf vs Smallpdf

Smallpdf is a popular freemium web-based PDF toolkit. Smallpdf offers a clean set of web tools on a freemium model with usage limits on the free tier.

Arthize's approach: 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.

  • Files are processed inside your private Arthize workspace and deleted after the job — never sold or used to train models.
  • The free plan never adds a watermark to your output.
  • Transparent pricing: free forever, Pro from $6/mo or $48/yr, and a one-time $149 lifetime option.
  • A one-time lifetime option instead of only monthly billing.

How to split a PDF with Arthize

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.
