How to delete pages from a PDF

  1. 1

    Add your PDF

    Drop the file in. Every page renders as a thumbnail, so you're choosing from what you can see rather than guessing at page numbers.

  2. 2

    Click the pages to remove

    A marked page dims and gets a cross. Click again to keep it. The counter above always shows how many are marked and how many will remain.

  3. 3

    Remove and download

    The pages you kept are copied into a new file in their original order. Your source document is never modified, so a mistake costs nothing but another click.

Removing pages versus extracting them

Two tools solve nearly the same problem from opposite ends, and picking the right one saves clicking. Use this tool when you want most of the document and need a few pages gone — the blank scanner pages, a duplicated cover, an appendix nobody needs. Use Split when you want a few pages out of many, like pulling three pages from a sixty-page contract.

The result is identical in quality either way: pages are copied, not re-rendered, so text stays selectable and images keep their exact original resolution. The new file is simply smaller because it contains fewer pages.

What removal does and doesn't erase

Worth being precise, because this matters for sensitive documents: removing a page removes its content from the new file entirely — it isn't hidden or merely skipped. What survives is document-level metadata like the title and author, which belongs to the file rather than to any page.

Links pointing to a page you removed have nowhere to go and are simply ignored by readers, as are bookmarks aimed at deleted pages. If your document had a table of contents with page numbers printed on it, that text is now wrong — the tool can't know to rewrite it.

Frequently asked questions

How do I delete a page from a PDF for free?

Add the file here, click the thumbnail of any page you want gone, and download the result. There's no account, no page limit and no watermark on the output.

Should I use this or the Split tool?

Use this when you're keeping most of the document and removing a few pages. Use Split when you want to pull a small number of pages out of a large document — same quality either way, just fewer clicks depending on the direction.

Does removing pages reduce the quality of the rest?

No. The pages you keep are copied without re-encoding, so text stays selectable and images keep their original resolution. Only the page count changes.

Can I get a deleted page back?

Not from the new file, but your original is never modified — it's still on your device exactly as it was. Re-add it and make a different selection.

Can I delete every page?

No, and the tool blocks it: a PDF needs at least one page to be a valid file. If you want nothing from a document, you want to delete the file itself rather than its pages.

Is my document uploaded?

No. Thumbnails are rendered and the new file is built entirely in your browser. This matters here in particular — the pages you're removing are often the sensitive ones.
