How to delete pages from a PDF
Delete pages creates a copy of your PDF without the pages you mark. Everything else stays as it was: same order, same selectable text, same quality.
It is the quick fix for the blank sheet your scanner adds, a cover page you do not want to send, or pages with details that should not leave the document.
Step by step
- Upload the PDF with Choose PDF or drag it into the upload area.
- Tick the pages you do not need in the thumbnails, or type them in Pages you want to remove using the format 1, 3-5.
- Check in the preview that the selection is right.
- Apply the change and download the new PDF.
How to pick the pages
Separate single pages with commas and use a hyphen for intervals: 2, 7-9 removes page 2 and pages 7 to 9. The thumbnails and the text field show the same selection, so you can start with one and fine-tune with the other.
If you have not selected any page, the tool tells you before processing, so you do not end up with an identical copy by accident.
Deleting is not redacting
Removing a page takes it out of the file completely. If you only need to hide a detail on a page you are still sending, use Redact PDF, which covers the areas you mark.
Documents can have up to 50 pages and 50 MB. Your original is never changed: you always download a new copy.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I delete several pages at once?
- Yes. Tick as many thumbnails as you like or type them together, for example 1, 4, 8-12.
- Can I undo it?
- Your original file is not modified. If you make a mistake, upload it again and redo the selection.
- Do the remaining pages lose quality?
- No. The pages you keep are copied without recompression.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes. You can tap thumbnails to select them, and the pages field works the same way.
- How do I remove blank pages from a scan?
- Spot them in the thumbnails, which show every page at a small size, tick them and apply the change. Nearly blank pages with a smudge or a page number also show up there, so look before you delete.
