About Halve PDF pages
Halve PDF pages turns every source page into two output pages. Horizontal splits create left then right halves; Vertical splits create top then bottom halves. The cut is fixed at the midpoint and applies to the whole document. A preview shows the actual split line on rotated and cropped pages.

Frequently asked questions about Halve PDF pages
Can I move the split line?
No. Both orientations cut at the exact midpoint, with no draggable gutter or per-page offset.
Is there a right-to-left output option?
No. Horizontal output is always left then right, and Vertical output is always top then bottom. Reorder the downloaded PDF afterwards when another reading order is required.
Does halving rasterise the pages?
No. The tool duplicates each page and changes its page boxes to expose one half. Native text and vectors remain in the copied page, although content outside each visible half can still exist in the underlying objects.
Why in-browser processing matters
Every PDFChamp tool runs inside this page: the file you choose is read by JavaScript in your own browser and is never sent to a server, so nothing is uploaded, queued, or stored anywhere. That removes the upload wait, the processing queue, and the question of what happens to your file afterwards — the PDFChamp overview compares this architecture with server-side PDF tools.
