How to split a PDF on Mac
- Drag the PDF into the box above.
- Choose "Every page" or enter page ranges such as 1-3, 4-10.
- Click "Split PDF" and download the parts.
Splitting with Preview
Preview is fine for a single page or range. For splitting into many parts at once (every page, or several ranges in one go), Pdfverter does it in one click.
- One page: open the PDF in Preview, show thumbnails (View → Thumbnails) and drag a page to the desktop. It becomes a new PDF.
- A range: choose File → Print, set the page range, then PDF → Save as PDF.

Frequently asked questions
Can I split into more than one range at once?
Yes. Enter ranges separated by commas, for example 1-2, 3-5, 6-12, and you get one PDF per range.
Are my PDFs uploaded anywhere?
No. Pdfverter processes your files inside your browser, on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server, so it is safe for contracts, statements and other confidential documents.
