Pro Tips
- •Enter individual page numbers, ranges, or a mix - like 1, 3-5, 8 to delete pages 1, 3, 4, 5, and 8
- •Page numbers are 1-indexed, matching what you see in a PDF viewer, not 0-indexed array positions
- •You can't delete every page - at least one page must remain in the resulting document
- •The whole file is processed locally in your browser using pdf-lib - nothing is uploaded anywhere

When to Use This Tool
Remove unwanted cover sheets, blank pages, or duplicate scans from a PDF before sharing or archiving it.

Remove entire pages containing sensitive or outdated content from a PDF before distributing it.
Cut down a large PDF to just the pages you need, reducing file size and making it easier to share.
How It Works
Read the uploaded PDF file as binary data directly in your browser and detect its total page count
Parse the page numbers and ranges you enter into a set of page indices to remove
Load the file into a PDF document using the pdf-lib library
Remove the specified pages in reverse order, so earlier removals don't shift the indices of pages still to be deleted
Save the modified PDF and trigger a download

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I specify which pages to delete?
Enter page numbers separated by commas, ranges with a hyphen, or both together - for example 1, 3-5, 8 deletes pages 1, 3, 4, 5, and 8. Page numbers start at 1, matching what you'd see in a PDF viewer.
Can I delete every page in the document?
No, at least one page must remain. If you try to delete all pages, the tool will show an error instead of producing an empty PDF.
What happens to bookmarks or links pointing to deleted pages?
Internal links or bookmarks that pointed to a deleted page may no longer work correctly, since pdf-lib removes the page but doesn't rewrite references to it elsewhere in the document.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The entire file is read, modified, and re-saved locally in your browser using the pdf-lib library. Your document never leaves your device.
Can I delete pages from a password-protected PDF?
No. Password-protected or encrypted PDFs can't be opened by this tool. You'll need to remove the password protection first using a PDF editor.
