Delete Pages from PDF

A document that should be ten pages often arrives as twenty, padded with blank sheets, duplicated covers, or sections nobody needs. The delete pages tool lets you choose exactly which pages stay and builds a fresh PDF from just those, all in your browser with no uploads. It is the fastest way to strip a file down to what actually matters.

Selecting Pages to Keep

The tool presents every page as a numbered button in a grid. Click a page to remove it or bring it back, and a header tracks how many of the total are still selected. You can also use select all or deselect all to clear the board and then click back in the few pages you want, which is often the fastest approach for keeping just a handful out of many.

Because you select what to keep rather than what to delete, the flow is forgiving. There is no risk of typing a wrong page number: everything you see is everything you get.

How the Result Is Built

When you run the tool, it reads the source PDF and copies the checked pages into a brand-new document in their original order. Content on those pages keeps its text, links, and formatting, because the pages themselves are carried over rather than re-created from scratch. At least one page must remain selected, and the tool warns you if you try to remove them all.

The new file is saved with a filtered- prefix, which makes it easy to tell the cleaned version apart from the source. Downloads start automatically once processing finishes, and the tool shows a summary of how many pages were kept.

How to Delete Pages

1. Upload your PDF by clicking the upload area or dragging the file onto it.
2. Click the numbered pages you want to remove, or deselect all and click back the pages you want to keep.
3. Confirm the count and click the delete button for the pages you unchecked.
4. Download the result, and if you need the original back it is one click away on the success screen.

What People Use It For

The most common jobs are removing blank pages left behind by a scanner, dropping a redundant cover or title page, cutting appendix material from a submission, and deleting divider sheets between sections. Cleanup like this is often the first step before merging a file into a larger document or sending it to someone else.

There are also times to leave a file alone. If a PDF is a legal record or an audit trail, removing pages changes what it documents, so keep the original archived and treat the trimmed version as a working copy. The tool's restore button supports exactly that habit.

The tool also handles the reverse habit: keeping only a few key pages from a long document, such as the signature page from a contract or a single reference table buried in a larger report. Because processing is instant, it is easy to experiment. Run the tool, inspect the download, and adjust your selection if a page you expected to keep did not make it.

Free, Private, and Instant

Free users can process files up to 10 MB with a short wait, and Premium subscribers get bigger files with no waiting. Every step happens locally using a PDF library built into your browser, so the original file is never transmitted or stored anywhere.

No account is needed to start. Just open the tool, drop in a file, and the page grid appears within a moment so you can see what you are working with before you change anything.

• The pages you keep arrive in their original order.
• Text remains selectable, searchable, and editable inside the kept pages.
• Links and form fields on the remaining pages still work.
• The original file is untouched, and a one-click restore re-downloads it.
• Blank, duplicated, or unnecessary pages disappear without a trace.
• The whole process completes in your browser, with no server involved.
