Delete PDF pages

or drop one here
Choose a PDF file first.

Mark the pages to remove, review the remaining page count, and download one checked PDF. The pages stay visible until the removal runs, so nothing disappears before you agree to it, and Undo and Redo revise the plan. The new PDF is opened again and compared with the kept source pages for text integrity and page count. Your PDF is not uploaded, and no account is required.

How to remove pages from a PDF online

  1. Choose the PDF

    Press Choose a PDF, or drop the file on the page. Page previews are drawn in this browser tab. The file is read locally and never uploaded.

  2. Mark pages for removal

    Use Remove this page on each page you do not want. Mark all and Clear marks handle the visible set at once. Undo and Redo revise the plan before anything runs.

  3. Review the page counts

    The editor keeps every page visible and shows how many pages will be removed and how many will remain. Nothing is removed while you are choosing. The document is untouched until the removal runs.

  4. Download the checked PDF

    The new PDF is opened again and compared with the kept source pages for text integrity and page count before the download appears. A result that fails verification is not offered.

Where Delete PDF pages fits and when to use it

Most pages get deleted for one of four reasons: a blank sheet the scanner fed through, a cover page nobody needs, a separator repeated through a batch, or an internal appendix that should not go out with the copy you are sending. All four are the same operation, and all four are easier to check than to describe, which is why the pages stay on screen until you agree to the removal.

Nothing is removed while you are choosing. Marked pages stay visible and stay marked, the count of what will remain updates as you go, and Undo and Redo step through the plan rather than through the file. The document itself is untouched until the removal runs, and even then the original file on your disk is left alone: the result is a new PDF, checked against the pages you kept, offered as a download.

Blank pages are common enough to have their own route. Remove blank pages from a PDF starts on that job directly. If the pages you want are the ones to keep rather than the ones to lose, Extract PDF pages and Split PDF approach it from the other side. To reorder what remains, use Organize pages; to straighten a sideways scan, use Rotate PDF; and to attach the trimmed document to another one, use Merge PDF.

One case deserves a warning before you start. Deleting a page from a digitally signed document breaks the signature, because the seal is computed over the bytes of the whole file and those bytes have changed. The removal itself still works. The proof that vouched for the original does not survive it, so keep the signed copy and send the trimmed one beside it.

Real-world use cases for deleting PDF pages

Removing blank pages from scans. Scanners often feed blank separator sheets that end up as empty PDF pages. Mark them for removal and download a clean file. For a guided flow built for that job, use the remove blank pages preset.

Trimming cover pages and separators. A batch scan includes cover sheets and tab dividers that are not needed in the final document. Delete them in the preview before downloading. Pages stay visible until you confirm the removal.

Removing confidential appendices. A report going to an external party contains an internal appendix that should not leave the organization. Delete those pages before sending. For content that must be permanently destroyed rather than just removed from view, use Redact PDF instead.

Reducing file size by removing pages. When compression alone is not enough, removing unnecessary pages cuts real weight. Pair with Compress PDF to hit a target size, or use Size breakdown to find which pages carry the most bytes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my PDF pages uploaded to a server?
No. Reading, page previews, page removal, verification and download creation all run in this browser tab. Your PDF is not uploaded, and no account is required.
Can I undo a page marked for removal?
Yes. Use Undo and Redo for individual changes, or Clear all marks to keep every page again. The plan is fully editable until you press the removal button.
Can I delete every page?
No. A PDF needs at least one page, so the tool requires one page to remain. If you want a completely empty result, that is not a valid PDF file.
Does selectable text stay selectable after page removal?
Yes. Kept PDF pages are copied instead of rendered as pictures. The output is reopened and its selectable text is compared with the kept source pages. A result that loses text is not offered for download.
What does the delete-pages verification check confirm?
It checks that the output opens, contains the expected kept pages in order, preserves page sizes, and retains at least 98% of their selectable text. A failed result is not offered for download.
Will printed page numbers change after I delete a page?
No. A page number printed in a header or footer is part of that page's content. Removing another page does not rewrite printed numbers. The numbering on remaining pages stays as it was in the source.
What may not carry into the new PDF?
Document-level bookmarks, custom page labels, links to removed pages and interactive form behavior may not carry into the new file. The pages themselves, their sizes and their selectable text are checked and reported before download.
Is there a limit on file size or how often I can use this?
No. No account, no usage counter in the tool. The practical ceiling is the memory of your browser tab. You can delete pages from as many files as you want, with no watermark on the output.
