Fits LinkedIn 2 MB · Workday 5 MB · ECourts 25 MB

Split a PDF into chunks that each fit the portal.

Your PDF is 60 MB. The portal caps each file at 10. This tool picks page breakpoints so every output stays under your target — no re-compressing, no quality loss.Can't upload 60 MB? Split it into 6 files that each fit.

Text, bookmarks, page order preserved. No account, no watermark, no daily cap.

Every portal caps uploads differently. Here are the ones blocking you.

Blanket compression trashes image quality. Splitting by target size keeps each page pristine and still passes every one of these gates.

LinkedIn
2MB
Resume uploads cap here. Anything larger gets silently truncated in profile view.
ATS
1MB
Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS — strictest cap in the recruiting stack.
Workday
5MB
Typical per-document cap across corporate and higher-ed Workday portals.
DMV
10MB
State DMV and vehicle registration uploads usually stop here.
ECourts
25MB
Federal PACER/CM-ECF and most state e-filing systems cap submissions at 25.

Split by per-file target, not blanket compression.

Portals cap each file individually. Splitting to a target means every page keeps its original quality — you just ship it in pieces.

splitscreen
Per-file target, not blanket compression.
Pick 1, 2, 5, 10, or 25 MB per output — the splitter walks the page stream, measures byte size, and cuts at the last page that still fits. Every chunk is as close to the cap as possible without going over. No wasted chunks, no quality loss from re-encoding images.

files out of one 60 MB input — each under your 10 MB portal cap, zero compression applied.
menu_book
Pages stay together.
Consecutive pages bundle into each chunk so the reader can follow the document in sequence. Output files are named part-1.pdf, part-2.pdf, etc., and bookmarks within each chunk are preserved.

Privacy-first local split.
Your PDF is parsed and written to chunks entirely in the browser. DevTools → Network shows zero upload. Matters for legal, medical, and HR packets that can't transit a third-party server.
merge_type
Need one file instead?
If the portal switches to single-file upload, merge for submission recombines your chunks.

Same goal: get a 60 MB PDF into a portal that caps each file at 5 MB. Watch the difference.

Three steps. Every portal cap.

Same flow whether you're fighting LinkedIn's 2 MB, Workday's 5, or the court's 25 MB limit.

1
Drop your PDF
Loads into browser memory in a second. No upload, no progress bar, no queue. The file lives only on your device.
2
Pick a per-file cap
LinkedIn (2 MB), ATS (1 MB), Workday (5 MB), DMV (10 MB), ECourts (25 MB), or type a custom target. The splitter packs pages into each chunk until it would exceed the cap, then starts a new one.
3
Download and upload
Parts download as a zip — part-1.pdf, part-2.pdf, etc. Upload them to the portal in order. Every chunk fits under the cap at full original quality.

Frequently asked questions

How do I split a PDF so each piece fits under an upload limit?
Drop your PDF, pick a per-file target (2 MB for LinkedIn, 5 MB for Workday, 10 MB for DMV, etc.), and the splitter picks page breakpoints so every output file stays under that cap. Text, bookmarks, and page order are preserved. Works entirely in your browser — see split without upload for the general-purpose version or the full local toolkit.
What's the maximum size a PDF can be on LinkedIn, Workday, and ATS portals?
LinkedIn caps resume uploads at 2 MB. Workday application portals usually allow 5 MB per document. Most ATS systems (Greenhouse, Lever) cap at 1 MB per attachment. DMV portals are often 10 MB. ECourts and federal filing systems are typically 25 MB. This tool targets each of those exactly — or use compress to 1 MB for the tightest ATS cases.
Why split a PDF instead of compressing it?
When a portal allows multiple attachments but caps each one (e.g., "upload up to 5 files, 2 MB each"), splitting is better than compressing to death. You preserve image quality and the portal accepts all pieces. If you need a single file instead, try compress for email or compress to 1 MB.
Does splitting a PDF re-upload it to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser via pdf-lib. DevTools → Network shows zero request carrying your file. Same privacy model as split PDF without upload and the full local toolkit.
Can I split by page count, page range, or file size?
All three. Pick "fixed page count" for 5-page chunks, "page ranges" for custom breakpoints (e.g., 1–10, 11–25), or "target size" to auto-pack pages into files under your cap. Target-size mode is the one this page focuses on. For the classic approach, see the general splitter.
Do pages stay in the same order after splitting?
Yes. The splitter packs consecutive pages into each chunk and numbers the output files part-1, part-2, part-3 so the reader can reassemble by filename. No shuffling, no rotation, no lost pages. Later you can also merge them back or use merge without upload if the receiving portal switches to a single-file upload.
How many output files can I generate from one split?
No cap. A 200 MB PDF targeting 2 MB chunks may produce ~100 files — all downloaded as a zip, all named sequentially. Larger source files take longer to process, but there's no per-session limit and no signup gate. Same for every tool at our no-upload hub.
Will bookmarks and the table of contents still work after splitting?
Bookmarks local to each chunk are preserved. The master TOC that spanned the whole document is retained in part-1 (with links to removed pages flagged). If you need a single unified file instead, merge locally the chunks back and the original TOC will be consistent.
Do I need to sign up to split a PDF?
No. No account, no email capture, no daily cap. Drop the PDF, pick a per-file target, download. The same signup-free model applies to every tool in the no-upload suite, including format conversion.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Yes — enter the password in-browser and the splitter uses it to decrypt pages before writing each chunk. Your password never leaves the page. Each output chunk can be re-encrypted with the same (or a new) password. Pair with encrypted transfer if the recipient also needs protection in transit.
What's the difference between splitting for LinkedIn vs splitting for a court filing?
Same tool, different target. LinkedIn resumes rarely exceed 2 MB anyway; when they do, split at 2 MB. Court ECF filings often require 25 MB per submission — pick that target and the splitter picks wider page ranges. Pair with format conversion if the court also requires PDF/A.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Load the page once with a connection, then switch to airplane mode — splitting continues to work because the code runs in-browser. The same local model applies to every tool listed at our privacy-first hub, from compression to image conversion.
What happens if one page is larger than the target size?
The splitter isolates oversized pages as single-page files and flags them for compression. You can route each oversized page through the compressor before re-uploading. Most commonly this is a scanned page or a high-res embedded image — try converting to PNG first if the page is essentially one big image.
Can I split a PDF on mobile?
Yes. Open this page in Safari (iOS) or Chrome / Firefox (Android). Drop the PDF from your files app, pick a per-file target, download the zip. Same flow, no mobile app install needed — exactly like compress for email on mobile.
I split the PDF but the portal wants a single file — what now?
Different portals, different rules. If the target switches to "one combined PDF," use merge for submission or the general merge tool to recombine your pieces. Or if the single-file cap is tight, compress the merged file instead of splitting it.

Split the PDF. Every chunk fits.

Drop your PDF, pick LinkedIn or Workday or ECourts, and the splitter packs pages into files that each fit the portal. No upload, no watermark, no quality loss — just uploads that finally pass.
