Remove PDF Pages
Delete the pages you don't want and keep everything else as a single document. Your original file stays exactly as it is.
- Select a PDF. The tool reads it locally and shows the total page count.
- Type the pages to remove — a single number, a range like 5-7, or a mix such as 2, 5-7, 11.
- Click Remove Pages. A new PDF without them downloads automatically.
Removing pages versus extracting them
These are two routes to a similar destination, and picking the right one saves effort. Removing is subtractive: you name the few pages you don't want and everything else stays. Extracting, which the Split PDF tool does, is additive: you name the pages you do want and everything else goes.
The rule of thumb is simply which list is shorter. Dropping a blank scanner page and a cover sheet from a 90-page report is a removal. Pulling three pages out of that same report is an extraction.
What people typically strip out
- Blank pages from a scanner, produced when a duplex scanner captures the empty back of every sheet.
- Fax cover sheets and routing pages that add nothing to the document itself.
- Pages with personal information that shouldn't be shared — though see the warning below about what removal does and doesn't hide.
- Advertising or filler pages in downloaded reports and e-books.
- Duplicate pages from a scan that fed twice.
Getting the page numbers right
Page numbers here count physical sheets from the start of the file, beginning at one. This is often not the number printed on the page: a report with a cover and two pages of roman-numeral front matter puts printed “page 1” at physical page 4. Open the PDF alongside this tool and use the position indicator in your reader rather than the printed numbers.
Anything outside the document's real range is ignored rather than causing an error, and the tool will refuse to proceed if your selection would delete every page.
Your original is safe
The tool never modifies the file you selected. It builds a brand-new PDF containing only the pages you kept and downloads that, so if you get the numbers wrong you can simply try again. As with every tool here, the whole operation runs in your browser — the document is not uploaded, and there is no server-side copy of a file you were specifically trying to remove pages from.
