Delete PDF pages
Remove blank or unwanted pages from an invoice, a catalog or a scanned file. You see each page before deleting it and know exactly how many pages will remain before you download the new file. You can delete a single page or many pages at once by typing a range such as 5-7, and everything runs in your browser.

How to use it
- Choose a PDF file. Its pages appear as thumbnails, with a progress bar while they render.
- Click the pages you want to delete, or reach them with the keyboard and press Space, or type their numbers such as 2, 5-7.
- Check the summary: which page numbers will be deleted and how many pages will remain.
- Press “Delete pages and download new file”. The original file on your device does not change.
Example
A 10-page file: selecting pages 2 and 5 shows “Pages to delete: 2, 5 (2 of 10). Pages that will remain: 8.” The new file contains pages 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 in that order.
Limits and caveats
- Tested limits: one file up to 100 MB and 500 pages. Rendering thumbnails of a large file takes time; you can select pages before it finishes.
- You cannot delete every page: at least one page must remain, otherwise the export is refused.
- The new file is built from the remaining pages only, so the content of deleted pages is not kept inside it. In return, bookmarks, interactive form fields and document metadata are not carried into the new file.
- Password-protected or encrypted files are refused. The tool does not bypass protection.
- A digital signature in the original is not valid in the new file. The tool warns you when it detects one.
- Page numbers printed inside the page content do not change after deletion.
Questions about this tool
Is anything deleted from my original file?
No. The tool only reads the file and creates a new one whose name ends in pages-removed. The original stays on your device unmodified.
Can deleted pages be recovered from the new file?
No. Deleted pages are never copied into the new file. If you need them later, go back to your original.
How do I select many pages quickly?
Type a range such as 3-40 in the pages field. The matching thumbnails are selected automatically, and you can then unselect any page by clicking it.
How do I delete a page from a PDF?
Open the file, click the page you want to remove on its thumbnail, then press “Delete pages and download new file”. You get a PDF without that page, and your original file is not modified.
Can I remove blank pages from a PDF?
Yes. Click the blank pages on the thumbnails and download the new file without them. The tool does not detect blank pages automatically, which is why it shows you every page before you delete it.
