## About

Type the page numbers or ranges to remove and download a clean PDF — remaining pages stay exactly as they were. All local.

## Quick answer

How do I delete pages from a PDF? Load the file, type what to remove — like 2, 5-7 — and press "Delete pages & download". The new PDF keeps everything else untouched; nothing is uploaded.

## How to delete pages from a PDF

1. **Add the PDF** — the page count is detected locally in your browser.
2. **List the pages** — single numbers or ranges, comma-separated: 1, 4-6, 12.
3. **Download the cleaned copy** — everything you didn't list stays byte-for-byte as it was.

## Common reasons people remove pages

- **Scans with blank or duplicated pages** — the classic 20-page scan with three duds
- **Printing only part of a document** — strip the appendix before sending to the printer
- **Privacy cleanup** — a bank statement page you don't want to share
- **Before compressing** — fewer pages means a smaller file before you run [Compress PDF](https://toolpantry.app/compress-pdf.html)

## Good to know

Deleting pages is not redaction of *content*: anything printed on the remaining pages stays exactly as it is. Need a single page extracted instead? [Extract PDF pages](https://toolpantry.app/extract-pdf-pages.html) pulls pages out into a new document, and [Split PDF](https://toolpantry.app/split-pdf.html) breaks a file into parts. For sharing the result, the [PDF compressor](https://toolpantry.app/compress-pdf.html) often shrinks scans dramatically, and [PDF metadata remover](https://toolpantry.app/pdf-metadata-remover.html) clears the author fields before it leaves your desk.

## Notes

Ranges are inclusive and 1-based: "5-7" removes pages 5, 6, and 7. The output is rebuilt page-by-page, so removed content is fully dropped from the file bytes (and document metadata is cleared along the way). Keep the original file — this tool writes a new PDF.

## FAQ

**How do I delete pages from a PDF?**

Load the PDF, type the pages to remove — single numbers or ranges like 2, 5-7 — and press Delete pages. The tool saves a new PDF with those pages gone; the original file is untouched.

**Can I delete several ranges at once?**

Yes. Combine numbers and ranges separated by commas: 1, 4-6, 12 removes page 1, pages 4 through 6, and page 12 in one pass.

**Is the rest of the PDF changed?**

No. Remaining pages keep their content, layout, and quality exactly — only the pages you list are removed. Bookmarks and form fields that pointed at removed pages may not carry over, which is true of every PDF editor.

**Is my PDF uploaded?**

No. The whole edit happens in your browser with a bundled PDF engine — the file never leaves your device.
