Remove pages from a PDF

Most documents arrive with something you did not ask for: a cover sheet from a fax machine, a blank back page the scanner picked up, twelve pages of terms at the end of a two page letter. Name the pages you want gone and everything else stays exactly as it was. The work happens inside your browser, so an invoice or a medical letter never leaves your machine and there is nothing for us to store or delete afterwards. Pages are counted the way your reader shows them, starting at one, and you can give single pages, ranges, or both at once. Nothing is redrawn or re-encoded along the way, so text stays selectable, images stay as sharp as they were, and the file does not grow. If you would rather keep a few pages than remove many, extracting them is the same job said the other way round.

How it works

  1. Open your PDF

    Drag the file onto the page or use the file picker. Nothing is sent anywhere.

  2. Name the pages to remove

    Type the pages you want gone, like 1 or 3,7 or 12-18. Everything else is kept.

  3. Remove and download

    Press the button and the shortened PDF saves straight to your downloads folder.

Frequently asked questions

Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. Removing pages runs entirely in your browser, so the document never leaves your device.
How do I write the page numbers?
Single pages and ranges, separated by commas: 3 removes one page, and 1,4-6,20 removes five.
Can I remove every page?
No. A PDF with no pages is not a document, so a selection that would empty the file is refused rather than saved.
Does removing pages reduce the quality?
No. The pages you keep are copied across untouched, so text stays text and images are not re-encoded.
What about a very large file?
Above 50 MB the work moves to our servers, because a browser tab runs out of memory first. The page tells you before it happens, and the file is deleted two hours later.
