Delete PDF Pages
100% private — runs on your device, never uploaded. Works offline once loaded.
Remove unwanted pages from a PDF by listing the page numbers to delete. Everything runs locally in your browser — no uploads.
What deleting a page actually removes
Deleting a page here doesn't just hide it from view — the tool rebuilds the PDF's internal page tree so the chosen page objects and their content streams are gone entirely from the output file. That matters because some editors only mark a page as "not shown" while leaving its data recoverable inside the file; a rebuilt PDF has nothing left to recover.
Once you delete pages and download the result, the original file on your device is untouched — you're working from a fresh copy, so keep the source PDF around if you might need those pages again later.
Everyday reasons to trim a PDF
Blank pages are the most common culprit: double-sided documents scanned on a single-sided scanner often insert a blank page after every sheet. Beyond that, people use this to strip a cover sheet or terms-and-conditions page before forwarding a contract, cut a page with someone else's personal details out of a scanned form before submitting it to a government portal, or remove duplicate pages left behind after merging two scans of the same document.
How the page selection works
Pages are numbered from 1 in the order they currently appear in the file, and you can mix single pages with ranges in one entry — for example "1, 3, 5-7" removes pages 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7. The page count and numbering of the remaining pages shift automatically once the deleted ones are gone, so a bookmark that pointed to old page 8 may now land on a different page.
- Single pages and ranges can be combined in one list
- Deleting reduces total file size roughly in proportion to the pages removed
- Any bookmarks or internal links referencing deleted pages are dropped along with them
A quick sanity check before you download
Confirm the total page count of your source file first (visible when the file loads) so your page numbers line up with what you expect — it's easy to miscount when a PDF viewer's page thumbnail panel numbers things differently than a printed footer does.
Frequently asked questions
How do I choose pages?
Enter individual pages and ranges separated by commas, for example "1, 3, 5-7".
Are my PDFs uploaded?
No — the pages are removed on your device and your files stay private.
Can I get a deleted page back afterward?
Not from the new file — deletion rebuilds the PDF without that page's data, so keep your original file if there's any chance you'll need it again.
Does deleting pages shrink the file size?
Yes, generally in proportion to how much content was on the removed pages — a page full of high-resolution images shrinks the file more than a page of plain text.
Will page numbers printed on the pages themselves update?
No — if a page footer says "Page 5 of 10", that text is part of the page content and stays as-is; only the PDF's internal page order changes.
Does this remove metadata like author or creation date too?
No, document metadata is left untouched — this tool only removes the pages you specify, nothing else.
Is there a limit to how many pages I can delete at once?
You can delete any number of pages in a single pass, including deleting most of a document down to just a couple of pages.
Does anything ever leave my device during this?
No — the page removal and file rebuild both happen locally in your browser, so there's no server copy of your document at any point.
