Divide Pages
Cut each page into halves, strips or a grid — great for scanned book spreads.
About this tool
Divide Pages cuts every page into equal parts: two halves side by side, horizontal strips, or a grid of rows and columns. Each part becomes its own page, in reading order.
The classic use is a scanned book or magazine where each scan shows two facing pages. Divide them vertically into two and you get single pages again. For Arabic-style or right-to-left books, switch the part order so the right half comes first.
Pages are divided by changing the visible area, not by re-rendering — text stays sharp and selectable, and the file barely grows. Rotated pages are divided as you see them.

Frequently asked questions
Is the content cut off or just hidden?
The visible area of each copy is narrowed, so each part shows only its section. Nothing is rasterised.
Can I divide only some pages?
Yes — enter the pages to divide; the other pages are kept as they are.
What does “right to left” do?
It outputs parts from right to left, for books bound on the right such as some Japanese, Arabic or Thai religious texts.
