Split a long manuscript into chapter files

How to split your manuscript

Paste your text or choose a UTF-8 TXT or Markdown file. The tool detects standalone chapter headings. Check the list, select the chapters you need, and download numbered TXT files in a ZIP.

Headings the tool recognises

Use Chapter 1, Chapter II, Prologue, or Epilogue on separate lines. Markdown level-one and level-two headings, 第1章-style headings, and numbered Korean 화 headings also work. Add these headings to a manuscript with no clear chapter boundaries.

Keep control of the split

The tool uses headings, not an AI guess or a fixed word count. Text before the first heading becomes an Opening section. It keeps chapter text in its original order and does not rewrite your scenes.

Where this fits in your writing workflow

One giant manuscript file becomes unmanageable the moment you need to find a scene. Splitting on real chapter headings gives you files you can name, move, and edit independently.

Keep the chapters together again in Webnovels AI, which manages the whole book, its records, and revisions with Bao in one place.

Questions

Can I split a DOCX file?

Convert it to Markdown with the DOCX converter first, then use that file here.

Why was only one chapter found?

The manuscript may not have supported standalone headings. Add a heading such as Chapter 1 on its own line at each chapter start.

Can I choose which chapters to save?

Yes. Use the checkboxes beside the chapter titles. The ZIP includes only selected chapters.
