Reader Split PDF
Split PDFs locally, offline
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Free, ad-free PDF splitter that runs entirely on your Mac. No uploads, no servers, no accounts. Available in 23 languages, including RTL.
Reader Split PDF is the simplest, fastest way to split any PDF on your Mac — and it never sends your file anywhere.
Open a PDF, type the page ranges you want (like "1-3, 5, 7-10"), pick a destination folder, and you're done. Each range becomes its own PDF file. Three steps. Zero accounts. Zero subscriptions. Zero ads.
WHY PRIVACY MATTERS
Most online PDF tools upload your document to a remote server before splitting it. That server sees every contract, every invoice, every page of your medical or legal paperwork. Reader Split PDF does all the work locally on your Mac using the same proven PDF libraries that power professional editors — your file never leaves your device.
FEATURES
• Split a PDF into one new file per page range you write
• Page-range syntax: 1-3, 5, 7-10 — commas separate ranges, hyphens for sequences
• Reads encrypted PDFs that you can already open
• Native macOS save dialogs — save anywhere you have permission to write
• 23 languages with full right-to-left support (Arabic, Persian, Hebrew)
• Light and dark mode following your system preference
• No ads, no telemetry, no tracking, no accounts
• Universal binary — optimised for both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs
• Free forever
WHO IT'S FOR
• Lawyers, accountants and consultants splitting client contracts
• Students extracting chapters from long PDF textbooks
• Researchers picking specific pages out of long papers
• Anyone who values privacy and doesn't want to send their documents to a stranger's server

PRIVACY
