View Two Pages Side by Side in Google Docs on Mac

To view two pages at once in Google Docs on Mac, follow the process below.

1. Adjust Window Size for Split View

Google Docs doesn’t have a direct “side-by-side” option, so we’ll use a workaround. Resize the Google Docs window by clicking the green button in the top-left corner, holding it down, and selecting “Tile Window to Left of Screen.” This will set the document on the left side.

2. Open Another Instance of Google Docs

Open a new Google Docs tab or window. Select the document you want to view alongside the first one. Then resize this new window by repeating the step above, but choose “Tile Window to Right of Screen” this time.

3. Align Both Windows for a Clear Side-by-Side View

Ensure both windows are aligned for easy reading. Drag the edges to adjust the size until each page fits nicely on your screen. You should now see two Google Docs pages side by side, enabling a clearer view of both documents at once.

4. Check and Adjust Zoom Settings for Better Visibility

Adjust the zoom setting on each Google Docs window to fit both pages comfortably. Select the zoom option at the top of each document window to change to 50%, 75%, or whatever fits best.
