How to Delete Pages from a PDF
Published: 2026-10-27
A blank page from the scanner, an outdated attachment, a page with data the recipient should not see — sometimes a document has to go out without a few pages. The Delete Pages tool does it in your browser: the file never reaches our server, and the original on your disk stays untouched.
Deleting pages step by step
1
Add the PDF
Drag the file onto the Delete Pages page or click to choose it. After a moment you will see thumbnails of every page.
2
Mark the pages to delete
Click the thumbnail of a page you want to remove — it gets a red border and a cross. Click again to unmark it. Above the thumbnails you can see how many pages are marked.
3
Delete and download
Click Delete Selected Pages. You download a new file without the marked pages; the rest keep their order, text, links and quality.
Good to know
- A deleted page leaves the file together with its text and images — it is not left hidden inside, where another program could read it. Fonts and images the remaining pages use stay.
- If you want to keep only a few pages of a long document, it is quicker to mark those in the Extract Pages tool.
- Deleting a page does not black out part of the text on a page that stays. To hide data on the remaining pages, use the Redact PDF tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the original file change too?
No. The tool creates a new file to download, and the file on your disk stays as it was.
Is the deleted page really gone from the file?
Yes. Content, images and fonts used only by the deleted pages do not go into the new file, so they cannot be read from it. The file usually gets smaller as a result.
Can I delete pages from a password-protected file?
Remove the password first with Unlock PDF, then delete the pages from the unlocked file.
