## Private by design

Your PDF is opened and rewritten inside your browser. It is never sent to a server, so confidential files are as safe as they are on your own computer.

## Good to know

Use "Right half first" for documents read right to left. To leave a cover page whole, enter the page range to split, for example 2-.

## Questions

### Is the quality reduced?

No. Nothing is redrawn; each half simply shows a different part of the original page, so text stays sharp and selectable.

### My scan has a margin on one side. Will the halves be uneven?

The cut is exactly in the middle. Use Crop PDF afterwards if one side needs trimming.
