Split a PDF to meet court e-filing size limits

Many e-filing portals reject oversized PDFs. Split a long exhibit into smaller page ranges, or compress first, then file each part under the portal’s size cap. Always follow your court’s local rules.

Steps

  1. Check the portal’s max file size (often 5–25 MB) and any page rules.
  2. If the PDF is image-heavy, try Compress with Fit to size before splitting.
  3. Open Split, enter page ranges that keep each part under the limit (for example 1-40, 41-80).
  4. Download each part, open it once, then upload in the order your court requires.

FAQ

Is this legal advice?

No. Court rules differ. Confirm size, naming, and exhibit rules with your court or clerk.

Do you upload the filing?

No. Split and compress run in your browser. You upload to the court portal yourself.

What does it cost?

All six tools need an active plan: a 7-day trial (card required), then $2.99/mo or $19/yr until you cancel, or a one-time $1.49 24-hour pass.
