How to remove pages from a PDF

Enter the pages to delete — like 2,5-7 — and download your PDF without them. Blank pages, duplicated scans and unwanted sections are gone in seconds.

Removing pages you do not want to send

Add your PDF, mark the pages to drop, and save. The rest of the document is untouched — text stays selectable, images keep their resolution, and nothing is re-encoded.

The important caveat about sensitive content

Deleting a page removes it completely, so the content is genuinely gone from the new file. But if your reason for removing it is that the page contains something confidential, be careful about the surrounding pages: text you can still see elsewhere in the document is still there. And if the sensitive material is on a page you need to keep, deleting the page is not the tool — use Redact PDF, which destroys the underlying text rather than covering it.

Blank pages from a duplex scanner

The most common reason people remove pages is the blank backs a double-sided scanner inserts. On a 40-page scan that can be 20 wasted pages and roughly half the file size. Removing them makes the document shorter and noticeably smaller.

Frequently asked questions

How do I delete a page from a PDF?

Type its number in the pages box (or a range like 5-7) and click Remove pages. The new PDF downloads without those pages.

Can I preview pages before deleting?

Yes — use the Organize PDF tool instead, which shows thumbnails so you can see exactly what you're removing.

Is there a limit to how many pages I can remove?

You can remove any number of pages, as long as at least one page remains.

Is the deleted page really gone from the file?

Yes. The new PDF is rebuilt from the pages you kept, so the removed page and its content are not carried over.

Should I delete a page to hide confidential information?

Only if you do not need the page. If the sensitive text is on a page you must keep, use Redact PDF, which destroys the underlying text rather than covering it up.

What is the difference between removing and extracting pages?

Removing keeps everything except what you mark. Extracting keeps only what you select. Use whichever means less clicking.
