How to Delete Pages from a PDF (Free, No Upload)

9/29/2026 • pdf, how-to, delete-pages

Scanned a document and ended up with blank pages? Need to cut a confidential page before sharing? Deleting pages from a PDF takes seconds when the tool runs in your browser — no uploads, no accounts.

Use the free tool: Delete PDF pages — no uploads, files stay in your browser.

Before you start

You only need the PDF file and a modern browser. Your file never leaves your device, which makes this safe for contracts, medical records, and anything sensitive.

Steps

  1. Open the Remove PDF Pages tool.

  2. Add your PDF — drag and drop it, or click to choose a file. You'll see "Total pages: N" once it loads, so you can confirm the page count.

  3. In the "Pages to remove" box, type the pages you want gone, for example: 2,5-7.

    • Tips:
      • Use commas to separate pages and ranges.
      • Use dashes for ranges (5-7 removes pages 5, 6, and 7).
      • Pages start at 1, not 0.
  4. Click Remove Pages and wait a moment while it processes on your device.

  5. Download removed-pages.pdf, or open it in a new tab to preview before saving.

Common examples

  • Remove one blank page: 4
  • Remove several scattered pages: 2,9,14
  • Remove a whole section: 10-18
  • Remove the cover and back page: 1,32

Troubleshooting

  • Pages rejected? Use only numbers, commas, and dashes — e.g. 2,5-7. Page numbering starts at 1, and you can't remove every page.
  • Want to keep pages instead of deleting? That's the opposite operation — use Split PDF to extract just the pages you want.
  • Download didn't start? Check that your browser isn't blocking downloads for this site, then click "Remove Pages" again.

Frequently asked questions

Is deleting pages from a PDF free?

Yes — free and unlimited, with no account or sign-up required.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Your PDF is processed locally in your browser and never leaves your device.

How do I specify which pages to delete?

Type page numbers and ranges like 2, 5-7. Separate entries with commas and use dashes for ranges. Page numbering starts at 1.

Will deleting pages make my PDF smaller?

Usually yes — removed pages take their content with them. For further shrinking, try lossless PDF compression afterward.
