Delete Pages From a PDF Without Rebuilding It

Deleting pages is the most common tidy-up there is — a blank scan, a duplicated sheet, an internal page that should not leave the building.

What this tool does

Removes pages from a copy of the document. The pages you keep are copied whole, and bookmarks pointing at them come along unless you tick the discard box.

How it works

Pick the pages to remove by thumbnail or range, then download. Deletion here affects the copy only; the upload is never modified. For a document that should keep only a few pages, extracting them is usually the shorter route.

  1. Choose the PDF, or drag it onto the page.
  2. Run the tool and download the result.

Settings that decide the result

  • Discard bookmarks

The remaining 1 controls stay on the tool page, where each one sits next to the live preview.

When to reach for it

  • A scan picked up blank or duplicated pages. Delete them instead of shipping a document with holes in it.
  • An internal page must not go out. The kept pages are copied whole into a clean file.

Where it fits

The tools people usually open next to Delete Pages:

  • Split by pages — Split specific page ranges, or every page into a separate document.
  • Flip — Mirror PDF pages horizontally or vertically.
  • Resize — Change PDF page size and add margins/padding.

Every tool works on a copy, so the original file is never modified. Uploads are stored under an unguessable id and deleted automatically two hours after you last open them; nothing is listed, shared or indexed. More on the security page.
