Preview automatically saves changes for you as you work, but you can also save a document manually. When you edit a file, Preview saves a version at least every hour (more often if you’re making significant changes). Preview also saves a version when you open a document, save or duplicate a document, lock or rename a document, or revert to a previous version.

Open Preview for me

1. Go to the Preview app on your Mac.

2. Open a PDF or image.

3. Choose File > Save.

   To save a file using a different filename, press and hold the Option key, choose File > Save As, then enter a name. Choose where you want to save the file, select a file format, then click Save.

Tip: To quickly save an open document with a new filename or location, hold the pointer over the document title, then click on the right.
