How to Split a PDF on Mac & Web
Extract pages, ranges, or every page of a PDF into separate files. Free browser and Mac app guide.
Overview
PDFTape can split a PDF in three ways: extract only the pages you select, pull out a continuous page range, or split every page into its own file. Like every PDFTape operation, splitting happens on your device.
- Extract selected pages into one PDF.
- Split a range such as pages 3-7.
- Split every page into individual PDFs.
