How to use the Delete PDF Pages
- Choose a PDF.
- Tap the pages you want to delete.
- Download the new PDF.
What does this tool do?
Page thumbnails are drawn in your browser so you can see exactly what you're removing. Remaining pages stay untouched.
The pages you keep are saved exactly as they were, with no re-compression, so text stays sharp and searchable. Because everything runs locally, it's safe to remove pages containing personal details before sending a document on.
Why use it?
- Remove blank pages from scans.
- Drop pages with private information before sharing.
- Trim long reports.
Use cases
- Remove the blank backs of pages from a double-sided scan.
- Take out pages with bank details, ID numbers or signatures before forwarding a document.
- Cut a long report down to the pages a client actually needs.
Tip
To keep only a few pages from a long document, the Split PDF tool's “Extract pages” mode is quicker.
Common mistakes
- Trying to delete every page. A PDF needs at least one page, so the tool always keeps one.
- Throwing away the original. Deleted pages aren't in the downloaded file, so keep the original if you might need them later.
Privacy
Your files are processed entirely in your browser using built-in web technologies. They are not uploaded to our servers, and closing the page clears them from memory. There's no account to create and nothing to install.
Frequently asked questions
Are my PDFs uploaded?
No. The PDF is processed inside your browser with open-source PDF libraries. It never leaves your device, which makes this safe for contracts, statements and IDs.
Can I use a password-protected PDF?
Not yet. Open it in your PDF reader, remove the password (or print it to a new PDF), then use the tool.
Is the deleted content really gone?
Yes. Pages you delete aren't copied into the new file at all, so their text and images aren't in the PDF you download.
Can I do this on my phone?
Yes. Tap the page thumbnails to mark them, then download. Very long PDFs take a little longer to show thumbnails on older phones.
