How do I delete pages from a PDF?
Add your PDF, specify which pages to remove using a format like "2,5-7", then run the tool and download the result. The remaining pages are rebuilt into a new document in their original order, and the file on your disk is unchanged. Everything happens in this browser tab.
About the Delete PDF Pages
Delete specific pages from a PDF document. Remove unwanted pages without affecting the rest of the document.
- Drop blank pages, separator sheets and duplicate scans that a batch scanner inserted between documents.
- Remove an internal cover memo, pricing appendix or reviewer comment page before circulating a file externally.
- Delete several ranges at once with a selection such as 2,7,15-18 instead of repeating a single-page operation.
- Leave every remaining page exactly as it was, since the surviving pages are copied rather than re-rendered.

Are deleted pages truly gone from the new file?
Yes. The output is a newly constructed document containing only the pages you kept — the removed pages are not hidden, marked invisible, or left recoverable in the file structure. This is a meaningful difference from covering content with a black rectangle in an editor, where the underlying text often remains selectable underneath the box and can be copied straight out.
What page numbers should you enter?
Enter the page numbers as your PDF viewer shows them, one-based, using single numbers and ranges: "1", "2,6", or "3-5,9". Work from the original numbering throughout — the list is resolved against the document as it is now, so you do not need to mentally renumber the later pages as earlier ones are removed.
Can you remove blank pages from a scan?
You can, but you have to identify them first: this tool removes the pages you name rather than detecting emptiness on its own. Open the PDF, note the blank page numbers — duplex scanners typically produce them on every other page — and enter that list. For a long scan it is often quicker to note the pages you want to keep and use the extract tool instead.
Are my files uploaded when deleting pages from a PDF?
No. Pages are removed by rebuilding the document in memory in this tab. Deletion is frequently the last step before sharing a document with pages that should not be seen — an internal cover note, another client's details, a page of personal identifiers — so uploading the intact original to a server to perform it would recreate the exact exposure you are trying to prevent.
How to do this offline, on the command line
There is no delete command — you select everything except the pages you do not want.
