Remove unwanted pages from any PDF online for free, including blank pages, drafts and confidential content.

A clean PDF tells a clean story. Whether you need to drop a blank scanner page, remove an outdated appendix, or strip confidential pages before sharing, deleting is one of the safest edits you can make.

How to delete pages

  1. Open Delete Pages.
  2. Upload your PDF.
  3. Type the pages to remove — for example 2, 5-7, 10.
  4. Download the trimmed file.

Important safety notes

  • Always keep a copy of the original. Deletion is not reversible inside the tool.
  • Confidential pages aren't truly gone if you only hide or cover them — to permanently remove sensitive content from visible pages, use Redact PDF.
  • Numbering shifts after deletion. If your document references "page 14", that reference may now point somewhere else.

Bulk operations

If you need to delete dozens of pages, it's often faster to flip the question: extract only the pages you want with Extract Pages.
