Delete Pages from a PDF Online Free

Runs 100% in your browser — your files never leave your device.

Contracts with stale appendices, scans with blank pages, decks with slides you can't show — list the pages to remove and keep everything else in its original order. The trimmed PDF is rebuilt locally in your browser, so private documents never leave your device.

How it works

  1. 1

    Add your PDF

    Drop a PDF into the box or click to browse. Your file stays on your device.

  2. 2

    List the pages to delete

    Type page numbers and ranges, like 2, 4-6. Everything you list is removed.

  3. 3

    Delete and download

    Click Delete pages. The remaining pages keep their original order in the new file.

About this tool

The pages worth deleting

Blank pages from double-sided scanning, printer-generated separator sheets, promotional pages stapled into downloaded statements, duplicate scans of the same receipt, annexes that expired, and the occasional page someone included by accident. Removing them before you send the document is a courtesy that compounds: a leaner file downloads faster, prints without surprises, and does not make the recipient wonder whether page 7 was meant to be blank.

Deleting with confidence

Deletion here works on ranges, so removing pages 5-7, 12, and 19-22 is one pass. The original file is never modified — the tool reads it and writes a new copy without the selected pages — which makes the operation safe to redo: check the result, and if a page was missed, delete again from the original. A quick page-count check against what you expected catches any mis-typed range before the document leaves your hands.

Deleting pages from scans and reports

Scanned documents benefit most, because scanners happily produce blanks and duplicates that a human only notices on screen. Digital reports benefit differently: many contain tracked-changes dumps or appendix pages that no recipient needs. Deleting pages is also the cleanest way to prepare excerpts for different audiences — one source document becomes a set of tailored copies, each containing only what that reader should see.

Deleting versus extracting

Deleting answers the question 'which pages do I not want?', extracting answers 'which pages do I want?'. They produce the same kind of output, so pick whichever is the shorter list: one unwanted page in a hundred-page document is one deletion; three wanted pages is one extraction. Both are lossless page-level copies, so neither touches quality or the text layer.

Frequently asked questions

Does the original file change?

No. Deletion produces a new PDF; the original on your device is untouched.

Can I delete several separate ranges at once?

Yes — ranges combine in one pass, like 1-3, 7, 19-22.

Is deletion reversible?

Redo it from the original — the tool never modifies the source file, so retries are free.

Do deleted pages stay recoverable in the file?

No. The output is a fresh document containing only the remaining pages.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Yes — pages are removed at the page level regardless of what they contain.
