How to delete pages from a PDF
- Select Choose file or drop your PDF on the box. Thumbnails of every page appear.
- Click the pages you want to remove. They turn red with a cross. You can also type ranges like
2, 5-7in Pages to delete. - Check the button label, which counts the pages to be removed.
- Select Delete N pages and then Download.
What you get
The same PDF without the marked pages. Nothing else is changed: the remaining pages keep their size, rotation, text and images. Because pages are removed from the document and not redrawn, there is no loss of quality and text stays selectable.
Choosing pages
Click a page to mark it and click again to bring it back. Select all, Clear and Invert change many pages at once, which helps when it is easier to pick the pages to keep. The grid works with the keyboard too: use Tab to enter it, arrow keys to move and Space to mark a page.
Good uses
Removing a blank page left by a scanner, cutting the cover sheet or advertisements out of a download, dropping the pages of a form you filled in by mistake, or trimming a report before you send it.

The thumbnails are drawn on your device with pdf.js and the edit is done with pdf-lib. Your document is never uploaded, so it is safe to use with contracts, IDs and medical papers. Keep the original file until you have checked the result, as the new PDF is a separate download.
