Split by text

Step by step

How To Split a PDF by Text

Cut one document into many where the words change — box the text that marks a new document, like an invoice number or a street address, and every time it changes a new PDF begins.

1. 1

   Upload your PDF

   Drop in a document and its pages appear in the preview, one flip at a time. Files are deleted after 2 hours.

2. 2

   Box the text that changes

   With your mouse, drag a rectangle over the words that mark a new document — an invoice number, an address, a name. Only the text inside the box is read, and the box follows you from page to page. “Reset selection” clears it.

   
3. 3

   Split and download

   Press Split PDF by text — every page whose boxed text changes starts a new document, while repeats stay together. Optionally keep only text that starts a certain way, and rename the parts in More options.

   

• Draw, don't type

  Box the word or the whole line — only what falls inside your rectangle is read.

• Starts-with filter

  “Text should start with: Address:” keeps matching pages that must not start a split.

• Repeats stay together

  A page whose boxed text is unchanged never starts a new document.

• Name parts from the text

  [BASENAME]_[FILENUMBER]_[TEXT] — each part is named after the text in your box, set in More options.

• One ZIP back

  Every part downloads together, in a single ZIP.

• Private by default

  No account, no watermark — and every file is automatically deleted after 2 hours.
