Frequently asked questions

Can I extract a single page from a PDF?

Yes. Use the page selection mode, tap the pages you want and you get a new PDF with just those pages. The original file is not modified.

What happens to the original PDF?

Nothing: splitting creates new files and leaves your original intact. When there are several results, they are downloaded together in one ZIP file.

Are my files stored?

No. This tool processes the file on your device, inside the browser: it is not uploaded to any server and nothing is stored.

Is it free?

Yes. Sign in with your Google account and you get 8 uses per period on the free plan (1 use = 1 downloaded file; if something fails, it doesn't count). catScan Plus, bought in the Android app, is unlimited on the web and in the app.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It works in any modern browser on Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac or Linux, with nothing to install. The catScan Android app also lets you scan documents with the camera.
