Remove Pages from PDF

How to Remove Pages from a PDF

1. Drop your PDF onto the tool, or click Browse Files to pick it.
2. Find the pages you don't want. Every page appears as a thumbnail. Click one to see it large in Page Preview, and use the arrows, the page number box or the zoom menu (50% to 150%) to check it.
3. Delete them. Click the red trash icon on a thumbnail. On a computer the icons appear when you point at a thumbnail; on a phone or tablet they are always shown, so just tap. Repeat for each page you want gone.
4. Turn sideways pages if needed. The amber icon next to the trash rotates that page by 90 degrees, and the turn is saved in the downloaded file.
5. Click Download PDF. The file is named after your original, with _pages_removed added.

Why Use This Remove Pages Tool

• Your file stays on your device. The pages are removed by your browser and the new PDF is created there.
• See before you delete. A full-size preview with zoom lets you confirm a page is the right one first.
• Kept pages are copied, not redrawn. Text stays selectable and searchable in the pages you keep.
• Your original is never changed. You download a new file, so the first one is still there if you change your mind.
• Room for real documents. Each PDF can be as large as your plan allows; the limit is shown on this page.

Good to know: pages are deleted one at a time. There is no page-range box, so removing a long run of pages takes one click each. For that job it can be quicker to use an extract tool and keep the pages you want. There is no undo button either: to bring a page back, load the file again. The last remaining page can't be deleted, because a PDF needs at least one.

FAQ

How do I delete a page from a PDF?

Drop the file onto the tool, hover over the page you want to remove, click its delete icon and then click Download PDF. The new file has everything except that page.

Can I remove several pages at once?

You can remove as many as you like, but one click at a time. There is no range box for typing something like 3-9.

Does deleting pages change the rest of the document?

The pages you keep are copied across unchanged, and the numbers printed on them stay as they were. If you delete page 3, the old page 4 becomes page 3 in the file, but it still shows a 4 if it had a printed number.

Can I undo a deletion?

Not inside the tool. Your original file is untouched, so load it again to start over before you download.

Can I delete every page?

No. The tool keeps at least one page, since a PDF with no pages is not a valid file.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. Your file stays on your device. Pages are removed in your browser, so the document never leaves your computer or phone.
