How to remove pages from a PDF
No uploads, no account, no waiting. Your PDF never leaves your device.
Step 01
Open your PDF
Drop a PDF file onto the tool or click Select PDF File. Paste from clipboard also works.
Step 02
Enter the pages to remove
Type page numbers or ranges directly - e.g. 2, 5-8, 11. Use Quick select for common patterns like odd or even pages.
Step 03
Preview if needed
Click Preview to see only the selected pages before deleting - no need to load the entire document.
Step 04
Remove and download
Click Remove Pages, rename the file if you like, then download the cleaned PDF instantly.
Built for how people actually use it
Most people removing pages already know the page numbers. This tool starts there.
100% private - nothing uploaded
All processing runs locally in your browser. Confidential documents, medical records, legal files - none of it touches a server.
Type ranges, not just page numbers
Enter ranges like 5-8 or mix them: 1, 4-6, 9, 12-15. Multiple selections stack together, so you can add them incrementally.
Lazy thumbnail browser
Browse mode loads only the pages scrolled into view. A 500-page document won't spike your memory - thumbnails render as you scroll.
Preview only the pages being removed
The preview modal shows just your selected pages - not every page in the document. Fast and focused.
Original quality preserved
Pages are removed from the PDF structure directly - no re-rendering, no compression, no quality loss on the remaining pages.
Quick selects for bulk operations
Remove all odd pages, all even pages, just the first page, or just the last - one click each. Useful for deduplicating scanned documents.
Page range syntax guide
The range input understands several formats. You can mix them all in one entry.
| What you type | What gets removed | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Page 5 only | Remove a single unwanted page |
| 3-7 | Pages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 | Remove a continuous block of pages |
| 1, 5, 9 | Pages 1, 5, and 9 | Remove scattered individual pages |
| 2-4, 8, 11-14 | Pages 2, 3, 4, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14 | Mix of ranges and single pages in one go |
| 10-6 | Pages 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 | Reversed range - same result as 6-10 |
Selections stack. You can add ranges multiple times and they accumulate. Type 1-5, click Add, then type 10-15 and click Add again - both ranges are marked. Use the chips at the top to remove any individual range you added by mistake.
Common reasons to delete pages from a PDF
Page removal is one of the most frequent PDF editing tasks. Here are the scenarios where it comes up most.
Scanned documents
Blank pages from scanner output
Flatbed scanners often insert blank pages between every document when scanning in duplex mode. A 10-page document becomes 20 pages. Remove all even pages (or all odd pages depending on orientation) in one click.
Even pages
Reports and books
Cover, title pages, or table of contents
When sharing only the body of a report, you may want to strip the cover page, internal title page, or TOC before sending. Type the page numbers of those pages and remove them in seconds.
1, 2-4
Confidential documents
Redacting sensitive pages before sharing
Bank statements, salary slips, or legal documents often contain pages you don't want to share. Remove specific pages before sending the PDF to a third party, without uploading the file anywhere.
Private
Downloaded forms
Stripping instructions or legal disclaimers
Government forms and legal templates often include multi-page instruction sections at the beginning or end. Remove those pages to leave only the filled form before submitting or printing.
Last pages
File size reduction
Removing image-heavy or unnecessary pages
A 200-page product catalogue may have a 50-page appendix of specs you don't need. Removing those pages reduces the file significantly before emailing or uploading.
Range
Removal is permanent on download. The original file in your browser is unchanged until you download the result. If you need the original back, just reload - the file is never modified on disk.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about removing pages from PDF files.
Yes, completely free. No account, no watermarks, no file size limits, no daily cap. The tool runs entirely in your browser using open-source libraries.
Yes. Your file is never uploaded to any server. All processing runs locally in your browser tab. Bank statements, legal documents, or medical records can be edited without any risk of them being transmitted anywhere. Closing the tab immediately clears everything from memory.
No. Pages are removed from the PDF structure directly without re-rendering or re-compressing anything. The remaining pages are identical to the originals in terms of resolution, fonts, images, and layout.
Yes. Type a range like 5-10 to remove six pages at once, or mix ranges and individual pages like 1, 3-6, 9. You can add multiple range entries one by one and they accumulate before you apply the removal.
If your scanner inserted blank pages between every sheet (common in duplex scanning), they will usually all be on even-numbered pages or all on odd-numbered pages. Use the "Even pages" or "Odd pages" quick select button to mark all of them at once, check the result in Browse mode to confirm, then remove. If the blanks are scattered randomly, use Browse mode to identify their page numbers and type them into the range input.
No. Password-protected PDFs are encrypted and cannot be modified without the decryption key. You will need to remove the password first using the original application or a PDF unlocker, then upload the unlocked file here.
The tool will not allow it. A PDF must have at least one page to be valid. If your selection would remove every page, the Remove Pages button becomes disabled and shows a warning. You must deselect at least one page before proceeding.
Yes. The tool is designed for large files. It does not render all pages upfront - thumbnails only load in the Browse view when you scroll to them. The removal process itself also works efficiently on long documents since it operates on the PDF structure, not on rendered images. For very large files (over 100 MB) on mobile, a desktop browser is recommended.
No. Once you download the modified PDF, the removed pages are gone from that file. However, your original file on disk is never touched - the tool only reads it. You can always re-open the original and start over if you need to recover those pages.
