Delete PDF pages

Delete pages from a PDF

Type the pages you do not want and get the document back without them. Flip the switch and the same range becomes the pages you keep instead — one tool for both halves of the job.

Commas separate parts and hyphens make spans. Numbers past the end of the document are clipped, and a range that would empty the file is refused rather than producing a zero-page PDF.

How to delete pages from a pdf

  1. 1

    Drop in the PDF

    The document is read locally and its page count is used to clip whatever range you type.

  2. 2

    Name the pages

    Commas separate parts and hyphens make spans: 1, 4-6, 12- removes page one, four to six, and everything from twelve to the end.

  3. 3

    Choose remove or keep

    By default the pages you name are removed. Switch to Keep only these and everything else goes instead.

  4. 4

    Download

    A new PDF with the remaining pages in their original order. The file you opened is not touched.

Pages are copied, not re-encoded

The pages you keep are lifted across with their original content streams. Nothing is rasterised or recompressed, so quality is identical and the file usually shrinks by roughly the share of pages removed.

Ranges are forgiving

Numbers past the end of the document are clipped rather than throwing an error, reversed spans like 9-5 are read forwards, and overlapping ranges are collapsed. You cannot accidentally ask for something incoherent.

A document needs one page

If a range would empty the file, the tool refuses rather than handing you a zero-page PDF that half the readers in the world will not open.

Questions

Type the pages you want and turn on Keep only these. That is the same operation as extracting, from the other direction.
