Remove what you don't need
Scans pick up blank backs, reports carry cover sheets, and some pages simply shouldn't be shared. Type the pages to remove and press Delete pages; the new PDF keeps every other page in its original order.
Write single pages and ranges separated by commas: 2, 5-7 removes page 2 and pages 5 to 7. 10- removes page 10 to the end. The tool won't delete every page, since that would leave an empty file.
The pages you keep are copied as they are: text stays selectable, links and images are untouched, and the original file isn't changed.
Private by design
Deleting happens in your browser. Pages you remove are never sent anywhere, which matters when the reason for removing them is that they're confidential.
How this works
The PDF is opened in a Web Worker with pdf-lib. The page list is checked against the document, then every page you didn't list is copied, in its original order, into a new PDF together with the fonts and images it uses. The removed pages' content isn't copied, so it doesn't remain hidden in the new file.
Frequently asked
Are deleted pages really gone?
Yes. Only the pages you keep are copied into the new PDF; the removed pages' content isn't in it.
How do I write the pages?
Commas between parts and a hyphen for ranges: 1, 4-6, 12- removes page 1, pages 4 to 6 and page 12 to the end.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The new PDF is built by your browser on this device.
Can I delete pages from several PDFs?
One file at a time, since each document has its own page numbers.
