About this tool

Deleting pages is probably the single most common reason anyone opens a PDF editor. The scanner grabbed a few blanks, you got a forty-page report and only care about one section, or there's an appendix on a contract the other side doesn't need. Pick the pages, remove them, save a fresh copy that opens anywhere.

Selection works the way you'd expect. Click a page, shift-click another, and the whole range lights up. The sidebar numbers every thumbnail so you aren't counting pages by hand. The delete itself is one undoable step, so if you change your mind, Ctrl+Z brings everything back at once.

Since it all runs in your browser, the pages are gone the moment you save. No upload, no progress bar, no copy of your document sitting in someone else's queue. Bookmarks, links, and form fields on the pages you kept come through intact.

Frequently asked questions

Does deleting pages reduce the file size?
Yes. The saved PDF only carries the pages you kept, plus whatever resources those pages use. If the deleted pages had heavy images or fonts nothing else referenced, that weight drops out too.
Can I delete pages from a password-protected PDF?
If you can open it, yes. Drop the file in, type the password when asked, then delete and save like normal. Files you can't open at all aren't supported.
Will bookmarks and internal links survive?
Bookmarks do not. Deleting pages rebuilds the document, and the outline tree is not carried across, so the saved file has no bookmarks at all, including the ones that pointed at pages you kept. Internal page-to-page links may not survive either. If a document's navigation matters, keep the original and check the output before you rely on it.
Is there a limit on file size?
There's no upload, so the limit is really just your browser's memory. A typical laptop handles documents of 500-1000 pages without trouble.
Can I undo a delete after saving?
While the editor is open, yes, Ctrl+Z brings the pages back. Once you save and close, that downloaded copy is what it is. Your original file still has everything, so you can always start over from it.
