About the Delete PDF Pages
Remove pages you don't need from a PDF, such as a blank page, a cover sheet or an appendix, and download the rest in their original order. Tap the page thumbnails or type the page numbers, check the summary, then save.
Everything happens in your browser. The original file isn't changed and nothing is uploaded.
How it works
The pages you keep are copied, unchanged, into a new PDF: their text, images, size, rotation and links on the page come along, so nothing is re-compressed or reduced in quality. The document's title, author, subject and keywords are copied too.
Page numbers are the positions shown in your PDF viewer, starting at 1. If you type a page that doesn't exist or a typo, the tool says so instead of skipping it, because deleting the wrong page is easy to miss.
3 one page 2-5 pages 2, 3, 4 and 5 8- page 8 to the end last the last page 1-3, 7 several, separated by commas
Assumptions and limits
- At least one page must remain. To keep only a few pages from a long file, Split PDF may be quicker.
- Bookmarks (the outline in the sidebar) and fillable form fields are not carried over to the new file; the pages' visible content is.
- Thumbnails are shown for the first 60 pages; later pages can still be deleted by typing their numbers.
Worked examples
Drop a blank last page
Type 'last' or tap the final thumbnail. The summary reads 'Deleting 1 page (10); 9 of 10 will remain', and the download keeps pages 1 to 9.
Remove a cover and an appendix
For a 20-page report, '1, 15-20' deletes the cover and the six appendix pages, leaving pages 2 to 14, thirteen pages in their original order.
Fix a typo before it costs you
Typing '1-3, 33' for a 30-page file shows 'Page 33 doesn't exist: this PDF has 30 pages' and the Delete button stays off until the range is corrected.
How to use the Delete PDF Pages

Frequently asked questions
Can I undo a deletion?
Your original file is never changed, so you can always start again from it. Before saving, tap a selected page again or press 'Clear: keep all pages' to bring pages back.
Will the quality of the remaining pages change?
No. Pages are copied as they are, with the same text, images and fonts, so nothing is re-compressed. The new file is usually smaller only because the deleted pages are gone.
What happens to bookmarks and links?
Bookmarks in the sidebar aren't copied, and a link inside the document that pointed to a deleted page will no longer lead anywhere. Links to websites keep working.
How do I delete pages from a password-protected PDF?
Remove the password first in the app that created it, or print it to a new PDF if you're allowed to. The tool can't open encrypted files and tells you so rather than producing blank pages.
Is there a page or size limit?
There's no fixed page limit; the work is done by your device. Files up to 200 MB are accepted, but very large PDFs may be slow on older phones.
