Choose individual pages, odd or even pages, or exact page ranges, then create a new copy of the PDF without those pages.

One PDF at a time
This tool loads the existing PDF and removes the selected page objects from its page tree. It does not convert the remaining pages to images or rebuild them from screenshots.
Deleting page 4 means the old page 5 becomes the fourth page in the resulting page sequence. Any page number that is physically printed in the page artwork stays exactly as it was; changing the PDF page order does not rewrite numbers already printed on the page.
The original file is not overwritten. The result is saved as a separate PDF so you can review it before deciding what to keep.
Click individual page previews when only a few pages need to go. Red highlighting always means "delete this page."
These buttons select pages by their current PDF positions: 1, 3, 5... or 2, 4, 6... They do not inspect printed page numbers inside the document artwork.
Use values such as 3-7,11,15. The entire range is validated before it changes the selection, so a typo cannot be silently ignored.
PDF pages can be referenced by document-level structures such as bookmarks, named destinations, form fields, page labels, links, scripts, or other navigation data. Removing a page changes the page tree, but this tool does not promise to rewrite every higher-level structure that may point to the deleted page.
For an ordinary flat PDF, deleting pages is straightforward. For a heavily interactive document, a form, a portfolio, or a PDF with complex bookmarks and navigation, open the resulting copy and test those features before relying on it.
Digitally signed PDFs also need special care. Saving a modified copy changes the document, so signature validity should be checked in the signing or validation workflow after any page deletion.
Imagine a 12-page scan where page 1 is a temporary cover and pages 6 and 10 are blank.
The remaining pages stay in their original relative order. The tool never automatically renumbers text that was printed inside those page images.
Yes. Enter a comma-separated selection such as 2,5,9-12, or click individual thumbnails. All selected pages are removed in one export.
No. A valid output PDF needs at least one page, so the tool blocks an export when every page is selected.
The tool works with the PDF page sequence. A scan can contain covers or printed numbers that do not match its internal page positions.
Their positions in the PDF sequence change, but printed page numbers embedded in the page content do not. For example, a page visibly labelled "7" will still display "7" after earlier pages are deleted.
Rendering every page of a very large PDF can consume significant browser time and memory. This component renders the first 48 thumbnails and still lets you target later pages precisely with the range field.
Often it can, because pages are removed, but the amount is not guaranteed. PDF resources and document-level structures can be shared between pages, and saving rewrites the file.
Use extra care. Page deletion modifies the document, can invalidate digital signatures, and may leave higher-level navigation or interactive structures needing review.
No upload request is made by this component. PDF.js creates thumbnails from the selected browser File, and pdf-lib removes the selected pages in the browser.
