Questions

My scan is slightly off-centre. Can I move the cut?

Yes. The split position is adjustable as a percentage of page width, and you can preview it before running.

Does this work on text PDFs as well as scans?

It does, but text that crosses the cut line will be divided between the two pages, which is rarely what you want for reflowable text.

Security note

Files are checked to be what they claim (by content, not extension), processed in a sandboxed worker with no network, and deleted on the schedule your plan sets. We do not run antivirus and do not claim to — please do not upload files you do not trust. Read the security page.
