Split Screen Chrome extension

This Split Screen extension turns open tabs into separate Chrome windows, then tiles and snaps them so you can view several pages at once, including across multiple monitors. It's best for people who want a fixed side-by-side layout they can reuse. The catch: it works by opening real windows, so heavy multitasking can mean managing several Chrome windows at a time.

What Split Screen does

Split Screen takes tabs you already have open and turns them into separate Chrome windows, then helps you tile, resize, and snap those windows into a layout, such as a 2x2 grid across one or more monitors. Instead of a single window divided into panes, you end up with multiple windows arranged the way you choose.

Saving and restoring layouts

Once you've arranged windows the way you like, Split Screen can save that layout so you don't have to rebuild it every time. Restoring a saved layout snaps your windows back into their previous positions and sizes, which is useful if you regularly work with the same set of reference tabs or dashboards.

Split Screen: FAQs

Is there a paid tier for Split Screen?

The store listing shows no in-app purchases as of 2026-09-30, and our catalogue lists it as free. A differently built extension also named Split Screen (Side by Side) does offer in-app purchases, so check the ID nfjlcfbnjkbfeoggodncojbdhkmehhbb.

How do I get two pages on screen at once?

Open the tabs, click the extension icon and split a tab out into its own window, then tile or snap the windows into position. Save the arrangement if you will reuse it.

Does Split Screen work with more than two tabs?

Yes, it can tile multiple tabs into a grid layout, such as 2x2, rather than being limited to just two.

Can I use Split Screen across two monitors?

Yes, it's designed to snap and tile windows across multiple monitors, not just within a single screen.

Can I save a Split Screen layout?

Yes, you can save a window arrangement and restore it later in one click instead of rebuilding it manually.

Does Split Screen create a single window or multiple windows?

It splits tabs into separate, real Chrome windows rather than dividing one window into panes.

How is this different from the other Split Screen extension?

This one turns tabs into separate Chrome windows that you tile or snap, including across monitors and with saved layouts. Split Screen - Side by Side instead divides a single window into two panes. Pick this one for multi-monitor setups and reusable layouts.

Why aren't my windows snapping correctly?

Snapping behavior depends on your operating system's window management; try resizing manually if automatic snapping doesn't align as expected.

Is Split Screen useful for multitasking?

Yes, it's built for viewing several tabs at once, such as reference material next to a document you're writing.

Does the Split Screen extension only work with two or more monitors?

No, tiling and snapping works on a single monitor too. While it's built to also handle multi-monitor setups, you can arrange multiple Chrome windows side by side or in a grid on one screen.
