Split PDF on Mac
Preview's split "method" is dragging thumbnails to the desktop and hoping — workable for one page, painful for ranges. Browser splitting is deliberate: define the ranges, download the parts. Free with fair daily limits.

Range splitting vs page dragging
Extracting pages 12–47 by thumbnail-drag is forty-six chances to slip. Typed ranges execute once, exactly — chapters, sections and submissions split at their true boundaries.

Safari or Chrome, upload, ranges, download — the splitting happens server-side, the parts arrive in Downloads, and the original stays whole on your disk.
