How to use split pdf by file size

  1. Open your PDF in the Split by Size tool.

Frequently asked questions

How do I split a PDF into smaller files for email?

Open Split by Size, pick your max chunk size (e.g. 25MB for Gmail) and click the button. Your PDF is divided into parts that each fit the limit, downloaded as a ZIP.

Will the page order be preserved?

Yes — pages are packed in their original order across the chunks.

What if a single page is bigger than my limit?

That chunk will exceed the limit since a page can't be divided. Compress the PDF first if you hit this.

How many files will I get?

It depends on your PDF and the limit — the tool tells you the count before downloading.

Is there a maximum PDF size?

Only your device's memory limits it. Most phones handle a few hundred MB.

Are my files uploaded?

No — splitting runs entirely in your browser.
