Split a PDF into separate pages

A 30-page scanned contract, and the other side only needs the signature on page 5 — that’s the job splitting does. compress cat breaks your multi-page PDF apart page by page, right in the browser, giving you one downloadable PDF per page. Take just the ones you need, or grab them all as a ZIP. The split is lossless — every page keeps its original sharpness and selectable text — and nothing is uploaded.

Why use compress cat's Split PDF?

  • One file per page, ready to use: each page becomes its own PDF, so when you need to send a single page, file one away, or submit only a few, you’re not back to screenshotting or re-exporting.
  • Lossless split, no quality loss: it only cuts along page boundaries — no re-encoding — so each page comes out identical to the original, text still selectable and searchable.
  • Pages come labelled: every output file is tagged with its page number, so a forty-page split doesn’t leave you squinting at a wall of filenames.

Frequently asked questions

The current version splits every page into its own file, then you download only the ones you want (or take them all as a ZIP). Direct range-based splitting — say, exporting just pages 5–10 — is in the works.

No. Splitting is lossless: it simply separates the pages without re-compressing or rasterizing anything, so every page keeps the exact sharpness and selectable text of the original.
