How to delete pages from a PDF

Blank backs of scanned pages, duplicates after a merge, an appendix nobody needs: Delete pages removes them and saves the rest as a new PDF, in the same order and quality.

Delete pages

Remove the pages you don't need from a PDF.

Step by step

  1. 01

    Open Delete pages and add your PDF

    Every page appears as a thumbnail.

  2. 02

    Mark the pages to remove

    Click a page to mark it, and click again to unmark it. For a long document, type page numbers and ranges such as 2-4, 9 and select Mark.

  3. 03

    Delete and download

    Select Delete pages and download the copy with every page you didn't mark.

Typing page numbers

  • Separate pages and ranges with commas: 1, 3, 5-8.
  • Write ranges from low to high: 5-8, not 8-5.
  • Typed pages are added to the pages you've already marked. Click a page to unmark it.

Keeping a few pages instead

If you need only a few pages from a long document, it's quicker to list the ones to keep: Split PDF with Extract pages saves just those pages as a new PDF. See how to split a PDF.

What stays the same

Pages are copied as they are, so text stays selectable, images keep their quality and links and form fields keep working. The file you uploaded isn't changed. The bookmark list may not carry over to the new copy, so check it if your document relies on it.

Tidying up afterwards

Questions

Can I delete every page?
No. At least one page has to stay. To get rid of the whole document, delete the file instead.
Can I undo a deletion?
Your uploaded PDF isn't changed, so you can start again from it if you removed the wrong page.
