A batch of contracts arrived as one combined PDF. Split them into separate files so each contract can be sent, signed, and stored independently.

How do I split a PDF in DocHub?

Open your PDF in the DocHub editor, go to the Page Controls menu, right-click on the page where you want the split to begin, and select "Insert file divider group." Name the section, repeat for additional splits, then download using "Download as multiple files."

Can I split a PDF into more than two parts?

Yes. Insert multiple file dividers at different pages to divide a PDF into as many separate documents as you need — there's no limit on the number of splits.

Is PDF splitting free in DocHub?

Yes. Splitting PDFs is available on all DocHub plans including the Free plan. A free DocHub account is required to download the split files.

Can I split a PDF on my phone?

Yes. DocHub works in mobile browsers on iOS and Android, so you can split PDFs from any device without installing software.

Does splitting a PDF affect the quality of the pages?

No. Splitting only divides the document at the page level — the content, formatting, and resolution of each page remain completely unchanged.

Can I edit the individual sections after splitting?

Yes. After setting your split points in DocHub, you can continue editing any section — add text, annotations, signatures, or fillable fields — before downloading the separate files.
