Long PDFs often carry pages you do not want: a blank separator, a duplicate scan, a cover you no longer need. Deleting them by number gives you a clean file with everything else kept in place. This guide shows how to remove pages without uploading the document.
TL;DR Open the free delete pages tool, type the pages to remove (like
2, 5-6), and download. It runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
How page numbers work
The page box accepts a simple list:
- Single pages like
2remove just page 2. - Ranges like
5-6remove pages 5 and 6. - Combinations like
2, 5-6, 9-11mix them freely.
Everything you do not list is kept, so you only ever name the pages you want gone.
Step by step: delete pages from a PDF
- Open the delete pages tool.
- Add your PDF. Its page count appears straight away.
- List the pages to remove, such as
2, 5-6. - Download the trimmed PDF.
Your original file is never changed, so if you remove the wrong page, just add it again and re-enter the numbers.
Delete or extract?
If you want to throw away a few pages and keep most of the document, deleting is the quickest route. If you instead want to pull a small section into its own file, use extract pages, which keeps only the pages you name.
The whole process runs on your device, with no upload, no sign-up and no watermark.
Where to go next
- Extract pages from a PDF to keep a section instead of removing one.
- Rearrange PDF pages to reorder what is left.
- Split a PDF to break a document into separate files.
