Remove Pages from a PDF

Pages are counted from 1, so the first page of the document is page 1. Separate single pages with commas and use a hyphen for a continuous span. For example, 1, 4-6, 10 removes page one, pages four through six, and page ten, keeping every other page in its original order.

You can list pages in any order and the tool will sort out what to keep, so you do not have to type them from lowest to highest. Numbers past the last page are simply ignored, so a stray value will not break anything.

Scanners often leave blank pages behind, like the back of a one-sided sheet or a separator between documents. There is no reliable way to spot a blank page for you, because a page that looks white can still hold a faint shadow, a speck, or a page number. So this tool keeps you in charge. Tap a page in the preview to see it larger, confirm it is really empty, then tap every blank page and remove them together. That way you never drop a page that had something on it after all.

These two tools are mirror images. Remove pages deletes the pages you list and keeps everything else, so reach for it when there are only a few pages you want gone from a mostly-good document. Extract pages keeps only the pages you list and drops the rest, so reach for it when you want to pull a small selection out of a large file. If you find yourself listing almost every page here, the Extract pages tool is probably the faster way to describe what you want.

Yes. Many free PDF sites upload your file to their own servers to do the work. This tool does not. Your PDF is read and trimmed right inside your browser, so it is never uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone else. That makes it a safe choice for contracts, bank statements, medical records, and anything else you would not want sitting on a stranger's server.

Removing pages copies the pages you keep exactly, but a few document-level extras do not carry over. Here is the honest breakdown so there are no surprises:

• Every page you keep, at full quality: text stays sharp and selectable, images keep their resolution.
• Clickable links inside the pages you keep.
• The bookmark outline (the contents list in the sidebar).
• Interactive form fields: they are flattened to their printed look, so they are no longer fillable.
• The original file's title and author details: the trimmed file starts fresh.

If a PDF opens on your device without asking for a password, it will trim here without any extra steps. If a file is locked and needs a password just to open it, remove that protection first with our Unlock PDF tool, then bring the unlocked copy back here to delete the pages you do not need.

Removing pages pairs naturally with the rest of the toolkit. Many people trim out the pages they do not need, then join files together with Merge PDF, reorder what is left with Organize PDF, or fix sideways scans with Rotate PDF. To cut one file into several instead of deleting pages, use Split PDF.

Yes. This tool works in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, tablets, and computers, with nothing to install. Add your file the same way, tap the pages to delete, tap the Remove button, and the trimmed file saves to your device.
