Remove the pages you don't need from a PDF

Blank scanner pages, cover sheets, duplicated fax headers — most documents carry a few pages nobody needs. Deleting them by hand in a desktop editor is quick; doing it online usually means an upload and a task quota.

Click the pages in a thumbnail grid (Shift-click selects a run, and All, Odd, Even and Invert help with bulk scans) or type a range, and download the result. Click a page again to put it back before you download.

Because you can see the pages while you choose, this is also the fastest way to strip the separator sheets out of a bulk scan, or drop the twelve pages of terms and conditions from the back of a contract before sending it on. The original on your disk stays exactly as it was. If you also need to reorder or rotate, there is a link to open the file in the editor.

What this does — and what it doesn't

  • Removing pages rebuilds the document, so interactive form fields are not carried over.
  • This removes the pages from the file entirely — it is not a way to hide sensitive content on a page you keep. For that, see the note on covering text in the editor.

Delete PDF Pages — frequently asked questions

Can I select pages visually?
Yes. Click the thumbnails you want gone, or type a range like 2, 5-9 if you already know the numbers. The two stay in step.
Can I get a page back after deleting it?
Yes. Click it again to keep it, or just don't download yet. Nothing is changed until you download, and your original file is never altered.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. Every operation runs in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly — the file never leaves your device. You can verify it: load the page, disconnect from the internet, and the tool still works. There is no upload endpoint to send it to.
Is there a file size or page limit?
There's no artificial limit — we don't pay per file, so we have no reason to cap you. The real limit is your device's memory, since the whole document is held in RAM. Large files above roughly 100 MB will show an advisory, and phones have less headroom than laptops, but nothing is blocked.
