Delete PDF Pages

Most PDF sites receive your file on their servers to remove pages there. This tool keeps everything on your computer — you type the pages to remove, the new file is built in your browser, and nothing is uploaded to us. The original file on your disk is not changed.

How to delete pages from a PDF

  1. Drop your PDF into the box, or click to browse.
  2. If the file is password-protected, enter the password to open it.
  3. Check the page count shown under the file name.
  4. Type the pages or ranges you want removed (for example, 2, 4-6).
  5. Review your selection in the line under the field.
  6. Click Delete Pages.
  7. Download the new PDF.

Why this tool is different

Most PDF sites receive your file on their servers to remove pages there, which means a copy of your contract, tax form or ID scan sits on someone else's computer. This tool works the opposite way: the new file is built entirely inside your browser, using your own device's processing power. Your file is never uploaded, never stored, and never seen by anyone but you — and your original stays on your disk exactly as it was. You can check this yourself: open your browser's Network tab while you delete pages and you will see no upload of your document.

Good to know before you delete

Deleting is not redacting

This tool removes whole pages. It does not hide or black out content inside a page, and it is not a substitute for proper redaction. If only part of a page is sensitive, deleting removes the whole page or nothing.

Your original file never changes

Deleting pages creates a brand-new PDF with the remaining pages kept in order. The file on your disk is never modified, so you can always go back and choose differently.

Bookmarks, forms and signatures

The new file keeps the pages themselves, sharp and complete. Some document-level extras may not carry into a rebuilt file: the bookmark outline, interactive form structure and attachments can be left behind, and a digital signature does not stay valid once pages are copied into a new document. Keep your original file when those matter.

Three mistakes people make when deleting PDF pages

Trying to remove every page

A PDF with no pages is not a PDF, so the tool stops you when your selection covers the whole document. Keep at least one page — or keep the original file, which is never changed anyway.

Using delete to hide part of a page

Deleting works on whole pages only. It cannot black out a name, a number or a paragraph inside a page — for that you need a redaction tool, not this one.

Closing the tab before downloading

Because nothing is uploaded or kept on a server, your new file exists only in the tab until you download it. Closing the tab first means running the deletion again — your original file is never changed either way.

Frequently asked questions

Where does my file go?

Nowhere. Your PDF is read into your browser's memory, the new file is built there, and nothing is sent to us or stored after the tab closes.

Does the original file change?

No. The tool creates a new PDF with the pages you chose removed, and leaves the original file exactly as it was on your disk.

Can I delete several ranges at once?

Yes. Type them separated by commas — for example 2, 4-6, 9 — and all of those pages are removed in a single pass.

Can I hide sensitive content inside a page?

No. This tool removes whole pages; it does not redact or hide content inside a page. Do not use it as a substitute for proper redaction.

What if my PDF is password-protected?

The page will ask for the password and open the file on your own device. The password is used only in memory, never stored, and never sent.

Privacy and important information

This tool runs entirely in your browser: your PDF, its name and its contents are never sent to a server, stored, or shared, and no file information is passed to analytics. Deleting removes whole pages only — it does not edit, convert or recognize text inside the pages that stay.
