Delete the pages you do not need and keep the rest in one clean PDF.
Useful for blank sheets, duplicate scans, wrong covers, or extra appendices.
The tool creates a new output file and leaves the original PDF untouched.
How to remove pages from a PDF
- 1
Upload your PDF
Choose the source document that contains the pages you want to delete.
- 2

Use page numbers and ranges such as 2,5-7. Page numbering starts at 1.
- 3
Export the cleaned PDF
Download a new file with the listed pages removed from the output.
When remove pages is the best workflow
Remove pages works best when most of the document should stay the same and only a few pages need to disappear. This is common with blank scanner separators, accidental duplicate pages, outdated covers, or short appendices that should not be shared.
In these cases, listing the pages to delete is usually faster than reselecting every page you want to keep.
- Drop blank pages from scanner batches.
- Delete duplicate or incorrect pages from reports.
- Trim a PDF without rebuilding the rest manually.
Range tips before export
The page list is inclusive. For example, 5-7 removes pages 5, 6, and 7. Make sure you double-check numbering before you export.
You must leave at least one page in the output. If you need the opposite workflow, use extract pages to list what should stay instead of what should go.
- Use commas for separate pages and dashes for spans.
- Review the final page count after export.
- Keep the original PDF if you may need a different trim later.
