About Delete PDF Pages

Up to 100MB file size. No watermarks, no ads, no sign-up.

Step by step: delete pdf pages

Drop a PDF and the tool parses it in your browser with pdf-lib. Type the pages you want removed using simple notation: single numbers (2, 4, 9) and dash ranges (4-6) separated by commas. On click, the tool validates the input, builds the list of pages to keep, creates a fresh output PDF, and copies the kept pages in their original order. The cleaned PDF is offered as a download via a blob URL. Nothing is sent to a server.

When to delete pdf pages

Scanned documents — strip blank pages that came out of the scanner. Contracts — drop outdated appendices or revision-marked pages before sharing. Invoices — remove the cover sheet or a duplicate page before emailing to a client. Reports — delete confidential annexes before sharing externally. Bank statements — remove ad pages from monthly statements before submitting for a loan. Course material — drop instructor-only pages before sharing notes with students.

Tips for better delete pdf pages

Open the PDF first in any reader to identify the exact page numbers you want to delete — count pages from 1, not 0. Use ranges (4-6) for consecutive deletes and commas for non-contiguous ones. Verify the cleaned PDF opens correctly and contains exactly the pages you wanted to keep before deleting the original. For complex reordering plus deletion, use Split PDF + Merge PDF together.

Worth knowing first

Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked first with our PDF Password Remover. You can't delete every page — at least one must remain. Bookmarks pointing to removed pages are dropped. Form field links across deleted boundaries may break. Very large PDFs (several hundred MB) may fail on low-memory devices — use a desktop for big jobs.
