How to delete pages from a PDF online
Open the file and each page appears as a thumbnail in the side panel. Click a page to select it, or hold Ctrl (Cmd on a Mac) to add more, or Shift to select a run. Press the Delete button in the page panel or the Delete key on your keyboard, and the pages disappear from the list. The remaining pages renumber themselves. Press Download PDF and the shorter file is built on your device.
Common reasons to remove pages
Typical jobs include dropping blank pages from a scan, removing a fax cover sheet, taking out pages with private details before you email a document, or cutting a long report down to the section a colleague needs. If you only need a few pages as a new file, the extract button keeps the selection instead of removing it.
Before you save
Scroll through the thumbnails and confirm what is left. Undo restores a deleted page at any time before you download, even after several other changes. Deleting pages here makes a new file; your original is never changed, and the new file is saved with -trimmed added to its name.
Is deleting a page a safe way to hide information?
A deleted page is not written to the new file, so it will not be in the PDF you download. That is different from covering text with a white box, which only hides it visually. Keep the original safe, and check the downloaded file once before you send it.
Tips
- Select pages from the end of a long file first, so you do not lose your place.
- Use the preview to check a page before deleting if the thumbnail is too small.
- To remove a page and keep a copy of it, extract it first, then delete it.
Privacy
Your PDF is opened, changed and saved entirely inside your browser. It is not uploaded, stored or shared, and nothing is kept once you close the page. You can confirm this in your browser network tab while you work.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded when I delete pages?
No. The pages are removed and the new file is built inside your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
Can I delete several pages at once?
Yes. Hold Ctrl or Cmd to pick individual pages, or Shift to pick a range, then press Delete.
Can I undo a deletion?
Yes, until you download. Undo brings the page back in its original position.
Will the file get smaller?
Usually yes, because the deleted pages are not included. Resources shared with other pages stay, so the saving depends on the file. Use the PDF Compressor if you need it smaller still.
Does it change my original file?
No. Your original stays where it is. The result is a new download with -trimmed added to the name.
Can I remove pages from a password-protected PDF?
Not here. Files with an open password or editing restrictions cannot be rewritten. Save an unprotected copy first if you have the password.
