How this page remover works
Type the pages you don't want — 2, 5-7 — and this tool rebuilds the PDF without them, entirely in your browser. It's the blank-scan-page and wrong-attachment fix: delete the accidental duplicates, the empty backs of single-sided scans, the page that belongs to a different client. Nothing is uploaded, and your original file is never modified — you always download a new copy and keep the source. There are no thumbnails here, so keep the PDF open beside the tool to confirm page numbers before removing.
Page removal tips
- The same range syntax as splitting: 2, 5-7, 11 removes five pages in one pass.
- The tool shows the total page count when your PDF loads — double-check numbers against the open document before removing.
- Your original file is untouched; the tool always produces a new PDF, so a wrong removal costs nothing but a redo.
- Removing every page is blocked on purpose — if you want just a few pages kept, the Split tool (extract what you keep) is the shorter path.
- Scanner blanks usually sit on even page numbers (the backs) — 2, 4, 6, 8 clears the empty backs of a single-sided scan batch.
Remove Pages from PDF — common questions
Latest questions readers ask us about this topic.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The pages are removed by JavaScript running in your browser, and the cleaned PDF is generated on your device. Nothing is transmitted or stored — the file never leaves your machine.
Is removing pages reversible?
Your original file is never changed — you download a new copy without the removed pages. If you delete the wrong ones, just run the tool again from the original. Only deleting your own source file would make it permanent.
How do I know which page numbers to remove?
The tool reports the document's page count as soon as it loads, but it doesn't show thumbnails — open the PDF in your viewer alongside, note the positions of the pages you want gone, and enter them as numbers or ranges like 2, 5-7.
Does removing pages shrink the file?
Usually yes, roughly in proportion to what you remove — especially for scans, where each page carries its own image. Text-heavy PDFs shrink less because fonts and shared resources remain for the kept pages.
