Scans pick up blank backs of pages, exports include cover sheets nobody asked for, and sometimes a page simply should not go out with the rest. This tool writes a new PDF without the pages you name.
How do I choose which pages to remove?
Type the page numbers to delete, separated by commas, with a dash for a range. 1,4-6 removes the first page and pages 4, 5 and 6. An open range such as 10- means page 10 to the end. The numbers refer to the position in the file, starting at 1, not to the numbers printed on the pages.
If it is easier to say what to keep than what to drop, use Split PDF with a page range. It does the reverse.
Does it affect the rest of the document?
The remaining pages are copied unchanged. Text stays selectable, images keep their resolution, and nothing is re-compressed. Links that pointed to a deleted page stop working, and bookmarks may not be kept.
Deleting pages does not always shrink the file much. Fonts and images shared with the pages you keep have to stay in the file.
Are my files uploaded?
On this page the PDF is edited by your browser and never uploaded. The file never leaves your device.
What are the limits?
The free plan takes PDFs up to 50 MB with no daily cap. Pro takes up to 500 MB. For a recurring clean-up, such as removing the cover page from every monthly report, the pipeline builder applies the same deletion to each file in a set. You can try a pipeline on up to 3 files for free.

FAQ
Can I undo a deletion?
Your original file is not changed, so you still have every page. Start again from the original if you removed the wrong page.
Are deleted pages really gone from the new file?
Yes. The new PDF is written from the pages you kept. The removed pages are not hidden inside it.
Can I delete every page but one?
Yes, list all the others. The tool refuses to delete every page, since that would leave an empty file.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Yes. A scanned page is just an image inside the PDF, and it is removed like any other page.
