A native macOS app that does one thing brilliantly. No subscription. No cloud. Your files stay on your Mac.
Page-level work on PDFs — without the bloat of a full editor and without sending your files into the cloud.
Burst any document into one PDF per page in a single move. Pick the folder, get clean files numbered in order — ready to attach, file, or share.
Mark blank scans, duplicates, or anything you don't want — they're gone. Your tidied document exports as a fresh PDF; the original on disk never changes.
Drop two, three, ten files into the window. Mix pages across them, drag them into the order you want, export the result as a single document.
Press ⌘⇧D, choose a folder, done. Every page in the document becomes its own numbered PDF — perfect for splitting receipts, contracts, or scanned batches into per-page files.
Multi-select unwanted pages with ⌘-Click, hit ⌫, then ⌘S to save what's left. cutpdf never modifies the file on disk; every export is a fresh document.
Open as many PDFs as you need — cutpdf shows every page in one grid. Reorder across documents, remove what doesn't belong, export the whole thing as a single PDF.
For years, "rearrange these pages" has meant a 1.5 GB installer, a forced account, a cloud upload nobody asked for, and €14 a month — with split, merge, and delete locked behind a "Pro" upgrade. cutpdf is what these tools should have been all along.
cutpdf has no servers, no analytics, no telemetry, no account. PDFs never leave your Mac. The app is sandboxed and only sees files you explicitly open.
Most things you'll want to know.
macOS 14 Sonoma or newer. cutpdf uses SwiftUI and PDFKit features that landed in Sonoma.
Never. Every export creates a new file. Open ten PDFs, mix them, export — the originals on disk remain exactly as they were.
No. cutpdf is a one-time purchase via the Mac App Store. No cloud features, no recurring fees.
cutpdf works at the page level — split, delete, merge, rotate, rearrange. For text or annotation editing, use Preview or a dedicated PDF editor alongside it.
cutpdf is built natively for the Mac in SwiftUI. We focus exclusively on the macOS experience — no Windows or Linux version is planned.
