Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. This conversion runs inside your browser using your own device’s processing power, and the file is not uploaded. Once a tool has been used once (video, text recognition and background removal download their engine from this site the first time), it keeps working when your connection drops.

Is the removed content really gone?

Yes. The pages are not carried into the new document, so there is nothing hidden to recover from the file you download.

Can I delete every page?

No — a PDF needs at least one page, so the tool stops you rather than producing an unopenable file.

Delete pages from a PDF

Runs on your device · Your file never leaves your device.

Pick the pages you do not want from the thumbnails, or type a range like "1-3, 7", and download the document without them.

This is the quick way to drop the blank backs of double-sided scans, remove a fax cover sheet, or take out a page before sending a document on.

The remaining pages are copied across untouched, so the result is identical in quality to the original — and because it happens on your device, the page you removed was never uploaded anywhere in the first place.

How to delete pages from a PDF

Add your PDF and wait for the page thumbnails.
Click the pages you want gone, or type page numbers such as 2, 5-7.
Press Delete and download the shorter document.

Supported formats and limits

Input: PDF (any version)
Output: PDF without the removed pages
Selecting: Click thumbnails, or type ranges like 2, 5-7
Quality: Lossless — remaining pages are untouched
Where it runs: In your browser; nothing uploaded

Not for: Redacting content — deleting a page removes the whole page; it cannot hide part of one.

Quicker ways to choose pages

Typing works as well as tapping: 2, 5-7 selects pages 2, 5, 6 and 7. A range can be written backwards, such as 7-5, digits of any script are understood, and the Arabic comma also separates entries. Numbers beyond the last page are ignored with a warning, and text the tool cannot read selects nothing and is quoted back so you can correct it.

To keep only a few pages, select those and press Invert: the selection switches to every other page, ready to delete. There is no automatic blank-page detection, so pick blank pages from the thumbnails. In a double-sided scan where every back is empty, those are the even pages: 2, 4, 6 and so on. In a document of more than 250 pages the thumbnails are not drawn, and typed numbers are the way to choose.

What deleting does and does not remove

The chosen pages are taken out of the document, so no viewer shows them and the page count drops; the pages you keep are left as they were. The file is named after the original with "-pages-removed" added.

The deleted pages are removed from the file itself, not only from view. Their text and pictures are not written into the download, nor are the form fields that sat on them with their values, the bookmarks and links that led to them, or the named destinations pointing at them. The file is written from what the remaining document uses, so nothing of a deleted page is left over.

One thing is given up for this: a tagged PDF, the kind made for screen readers, loses its tag structure, because the tags of the deleted pages cannot be separated from the rest here. The pages themselves look and read the same.
