Delete Pages from PDF

Remove pages from a PDF and download what is left, with the original untouched.

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your data is never uploaded, never stored, and never leaves your device.

This organises a PDF by deleting the pages you choose and handing back the rest as a new file — the blank page a scanner added, the signature page you do not want to circulate, the twelve pages of appendix nobody asked for.

How to use it

1Open the PDF; the page count appears so you can check you have the right file.
2Type the pages to remove — a list, a range, or both: 1,3-5.
3The line underneath tells you how many will go and how many remain before you commit.
4Press Remove Pages and download what is left.

Example

Input: A 12-page report, with 2,11-12 typed in
Output: A 9-page PDF — page 2 and the last two pages gone, everything else in its original order

Your own file is never modified; the download is a new document.

What happens to your data

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your input is never uploaded to a server, never stored, and never logged. A document you are removing pages from is usually one you do not want circulated whole, which is exactly the wrong thing to upload to a stranger's server.

Splitting a PDF and deleting from one are different jobs, and most tools only do the first. Extracting pages 1 to 5 gives you a new five-page file; deleting page 6 gives you back the same document, minus a page, with everything else exactly where it was. This does the second.

The cases are mundane and constant: the blank sheet a scanner inserted between every double-sided page, the internal cover you do not want a client to see, the twenty pages of appendix that make an email bounce. Type the pages, check the count, download what remains.

One detail causes most of the mistakes here: the number printed on a page is often not the number the PDF uses. A report with a cover and a contents page usually starts its printed numbering at the first chapter, so printed page 1 is PDF page 3, and a document scanned from a book can be off by any amount at all. The reliable way to choose is to look at the position in the document rather than the number on the paper — and to check the result before discarding the original.

How it works

Toolvore loads the PDF into memory in this tab, deletes the pages you named from the page tree, and writes a fresh document. Pages are removed back-to-front — deleting page 2 renumbers everything after it, so working forwards would delete the wrong pages from the second one onwards. Nothing is uploaded, and your original file on disk is never touched. What survives the rewrite is the content of the pages you keep: their text, images, fonts and layout are carried over unchanged rather than re-rendered, so nothing is re-compressed and nothing softens. What cannot survive is anything that pointed at a page that no longer exists — a bookmark or an internal link aimed at a deleted page has nowhere left to go.

Common use cases

Stripping the blank pages a duplex scanner inserts throughout a document
Removing an internal cover sheet or approval page before sending a report out
Cutting an appendix so a PDF fits under an email attachment limit
Deleting a page containing a signature or personal details before sharing
Tidying a merged document where one source contributed a page too many
Removing a page a sheet-feed scanner picked up twice
Dropping the terms and conditions from a form before printing it

Frequently asked questions

Does this change my original PDF?＋

No. The file you opened is read but never written to. What you download is a new document, and your original stays on disk exactly as it was.

What is the difference between this and splitting a PDF?＋

Splitting extracts the pages you name into a new file. This removes the pages you name and keeps everything else. If you want pages 1-5 as their own document, split; if you want to get rid of page 6, use this.

Can I remove pages from a password-protected PDF?＋

No. An encrypted PDF cannot be opened for editing without its password, and the tool will tell you it could not read the file rather than failing silently.

Is there a page limit?＋

Only your device's memory. Because the work happens in your browser rather than on a server, there is no upload size cap and no queue.

Do the remaining pages keep their bookmarks and links?＋

Internal links that pointed at a deleted page will no longer resolve, which is unavoidable. Page content, text and images are preserved exactly.

Does deleting pages make the file smaller?＋

Usually, and sometimes by much less than you would guess. A page that was mostly white space was barely costing anything, so removing ten of them changes little. A page carrying a full-bleed photograph or a scan can be a large share of the file on its own. If the goal is a specific size rather than a specific document, look at which pages hold the images before deciding which to cut.

Can I undo it if I delete the wrong page?＋

Not within the tool — but nothing was done to your original. This writes a new document and leaves the file on your disk exactly as it was, so recovering from a mistake means starting again from the original rather than reversing anything. That is the reason the original is left alone.

Does removing a page remove its information from the file?＋

The page and its content are not written into the new document, so what comes out does not contain them. That is a genuine removal rather than a cover-up, which is the opposite of drawing a black box over text and saving — there the text is still in the file underneath the box, and can be selected straight back out. For anything sensitive, open the result and confirm before it goes anywhere.

What if I want to keep a few pages rather than remove many?＋

Say it the short way round. Removing forty-five pages from a fifty-page document is the same operation as extracting five, and the second is far less error-prone to specify. Use the splitter when the pages you want are a contiguous run, and this when the pages you do not want are scattered through the document.

Does this work on a scanned document?＋

Yes — a page is a page as far as the document structure is concerned, and scans are the most common reason to need this at all, since duplex scanners insert a blank sheet for every single-sided original. The one thing to expect is that the saving in file size tracks which pages you removed: cutting the blank ones from a scan removes very little weight, because the blank pages were the cheap ones. The scanned pages you keep are copied across untouched, so nothing is re-compressed and no text becomes any harder to read.
