Selecting where to split PDF files

Wait a few seconds ⏲️.

After that, our system will inform you that it is done splitting your PDF by size.

What happens to my PDF?

When choosing to split a PDF by size, our system creates a copy of your file, and the only thing that happens to the file is just creating new PDFs according to your size preference.

Here's what happens when you split a PDF by size:

  • Your privacy is respected, and so, we delete the pre-splitting by size PDF file a few hours (at most) after the split process;
  • The new documents are available in your dashboard.

When splitting a PDF by size with SignHouse, you get 100% full control of the file. That's why you're able to re-edit, delete, share or private-share your documents.
