Delete pages from a PDF
Remove unwanted pages and keep the rest of the document intact.
Or drop one anywhere on this page
What to know about Delete PDF Pages
Remove pages you do not want to keep — blank sheets from a scanner, an internal cover page, or a section that should not be shared. The remaining pages keep their original quality and the file is rebuilt on your device.
Thumbnails let you check what you are removing before you commit, which matters when the difference between two pages is a signature or a figure rather than a heading.
The remaining pages are copied rather than re-rendered, so they keep exactly the quality they had. The last page cannot be removed, because a PDF with no pages is not a document.
One distinction worth drawing: deleting a page removes it from this document. If the point is that certain content should never be readable by anyone, Redact PDF removes content from a page rather than a page from a document, and does it in a way that survives someone opening the file with a parser.
How to delete pages from a PDF
- 1
Open the PDF
Drop in the file to see all pages as thumbnails.
- 2
Mark pages for removal
Click the pages you want gone, or enter them as a range. Selected pages are clearly marked before you commit.

Save the cleaned document
Download the PDF with those pages removed and everything else untouched.
What Delete PDF Pages accepts and produces
- Input
- One PDF, and the pages you want gone from it.
- Output
- The same document without those pages, everything else unchanged.
- Limits
- Every page cannot be removed — a PDF with no pages is not a document, so the last one is protected.
- Offline
- Yes, completely. Rebuilding the document needs no engine beyond the page itself.

Where your file goes
Nowhere. This tool runs inside your browser, and the page is served with a policy that forbids it from sending your document anywhere. You can confirm that yourself: open your browser’s developer tools, watch the Network tab, and process a file.
Questions
Can I recover a page after deleting it?
Not from the downloaded file — but your original PDF is never modified, so you can always start again from it.
Is deleting a page the same as redacting it?
No, and the difference matters. Deleting removes the whole page. Redaction removes specific content from a page that is otherwise kept. If you need to hide text while keeping the page, wait for the dedicated Redact tool rather than covering it with a shape.
Will the page numbering update automatically?
The PDF page order updates, but numbers printed onto the page as part of its content will not change. Use Add Page Numbers afterwards if you need the printed numbering to match.
How do I remove a range of pages?
Type it, for example 5-12, or click the pages in the grid. Both routes drive the same selection, and the tool tells you how many pages will remain before you commit.
Does removing pages make the file smaller?
Usually, and sometimes dramatically if the pages you removed held large images. Resources shared with the pages you kept stay in the file, so the saving is rarely proportional to the number of pages removed.
How do I get rid of blank pages from a scanner?
Look through the page grid and click each blank one. Scanner blanks are often not perfectly white, so they are easier to spot visually than by file size.
Will removing pages break bookmarks or links?
Bookmarks and links pointing at pages you kept are preserved and renumbered. Ones that pointed at a removed page are dropped, because their destination no longer exists.
Can I remove every page?
No. A PDF must contain at least one page, so the tool stops you before you get there and tells you how many pages would be left.
