How to delete pages from a PDF
- Add your PDF. Drag it onto the box or click to browse. The tool reads it on your device and shows the total page count.
- List the pages to remove. Type page numbers and ranges separated by commas, for example
1, 3, 5-7. Page numbers start at 1. - Apply and download. Press Apply & download. The listed pages are stripped out and a new, smaller PDF downloads instantly.
- Need another? Click Choose another PDF to start over with a different file.
What page ranges mean
A single number like 4 deletes just that page. A range like 5-7 deletes pages 5, 6 and 7, the dash is inclusive on both ends. You can mix the two freely: 1, 3, 5-7, 12 removes pages 1, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 12 in one go. Duplicates and overlaps are fine; the tool sorts and de-duplicates your list before editing. Pages are removed from the back of the document forward, so the numbering you type always refers to theoriginal PDF, you never have to recalculate positions as pages disappear.
When deleting PDF pages is handy
Scanners often add a blank back page or a separator sheet; a quick delete cleans that up. You might strip a cover page or signature page before sharing, drop the marketing pages from a long report, or remove a few duplicate scans before sending a document to a portal that has a page limit. Because the result is a standard PDF, it opens anywhere and prints exactly as expected. If you only need a handful of pages, deleting the rest is often faster than splitting the file.
Frequently asked questions
Does it upload my PDF?
No, pages are removed in your browser; nothing leaves your device.
How do I write the page list?
Use commas and dashes, like 1, 3, 5-7. Numbers start at 1, and ranges include both ends.
Why can it not delete every page?
A PDF must contain at least one page, so the tool blocks a selection that would empty the file.
What if I enter a page that does not exist?
The tool checks your list against the total page count and shows an error instead of producing a broken file.
