What to expect

  • The pages that remain keep their original order and quality.
  • A PDF must keep at least one page, so removing all of them is refused.
  • Your original file is never modified — the result is a new document.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose which pages to delete?

Use commas and hyphens: "2, 5-7, 20-" removes page 2, pages 5 to 7, and everything from page 20 onward. Everything you do not list is kept.

Can the deleted pages be recovered from the output?

No. Removed pages are not carried into the new document at all — this is a genuine deletion, not a crop or a hidden layer. Your original file on disk is untouched, so keep it if you may need those pages again.

Why can I not remove every page?

A PDF with no pages is not a valid document and most readers refuse to open one. If you want to discard the whole file, delete the file itself.

Does this change the remaining pages?

No. They are copied at the document level with their fonts, images and vector content intact, so nothing is re-rendered and no quality is lost.

Is my document uploaded?

No. The whole operation runs in your browser. There is no server here that could receive the file.

Delete pages from a PDF

Removing pages is the operation you want when the document is nearly right: a scan that picked up a blank sheet, a report with an internal cover page you cannot share, a bank statement whose first two pages are marketing.

You describe what to remove and everything else is kept, in its original order. The output is a new PDF; the file on your disk is untouched.

Removal is real, not visual

This matters more than it sounds. Some tools “remove” a page by setting a crop box or drawing over it, which leaves the content in the file for anyone who looks. Here the removed pages are simply never copied into the output — the new document is built from the pages that survive, so what is gone is genuinely gone.

If your reason for removing pages is confidentiality, that distinction is the whole point. Note that this removes whole pages only; to obscure part of a page you would need redaction, which this tool does not claim to do.

Selection syntax

2 removes a single page. 5-7 removes an inclusive span. 20- removes everything from page 20 to the end, and -3 everything up to page 3. Combine with commas: 1, 4-6, 19-.

Listing a page twice is harmless — it is removed once. Listing a page that does not exist is reported rather than ignored, so a typo never silently produces the wrong document.
