Cut PDF

Split pages along horizontal and/or vertical cut lines into separate PDFs.

Why use Cut PDF?

Two-up scans and composite sheets sometimes need straight cuts rather than crop boxes. Cutting splits pages along horizontal and/or vertical normalized positions and emits a ZIP of separate PDFs. PDFBaba uses pdfcpu’s cut workflow—different from Crop PDF’s box model. The service is free without signup, with short retention. Validate each tile visually because aggressive cuts can clip content if positions are wrong.

Supported files & limits

One PDF; define horizontal and/or vertical cuts. The default upload limit is 100MB per file; administrators can raise or lower this via server configuration. Output is a ZIP of separate PDFs—different from crop boxes.

What if my PDF is password-protected?

For Cut PDF, use an unlocked PDF when possible. If the file asks for a password in a reader, unlock it with our Unlock PDF tool first, then run Cut PDF on the decrypted file.
