This tool removes pages from a PDF and hands you back the trimmed document. Type the pages you don't want — single numbers like 7, ranges like 5-8, or a mix — and download the result.
The remaining pages are copied unchanged, so text, images and formatting stay exactly as they were. Everything happens in your browser; the file is never uploaded.

How to Delete Pages from a PDF — 3 Steps

- Type the pages to remove in the input — for example 2, 5-8 — using the page numbers as the reader counts them (first page = 1).

Trimming a PDF Down to What Actually Matters
Deleting pages is housekeeping that comes up constantly. Strip the blank separator pages a scanner inserted between documents. Remove the terms-and-conditions pages before sharing a contract draft. Cut the advertising pages out of a downloaded brochure. Pull the pages you have already signed out of a packet before re-uploading it. Each job takes ten seconds here: drop the file, list the numbers, download.
The tool treats page numbers the way PDF readers display them — page 1 is the first page of the file, even if the printed page footer says otherwise. Ranges are inclusive on both ends, so 5-8 removes four pages. You can mix single pages and ranges freely, and duplicates are ignored. If you accidentally delete the wrong ones, just re-drop the original file — nothing has happened to your source document, which is itself stored only in the browser tab.
What happens to the surviving pages is the part people ask about. They are copied into a new PDF exactly as they were — same fonts, same images, same internal links. The pages are simply renumbered by position, so if you delete pages 2 and 3, the old page 4 becomes page 2 of the new file. Page numbers printed inside the content (a footer that says "7") do not rewrite themselves, which is worth remembering when you assemble documents others will print.
If your goal is the opposite — keep a few pages and drop the rest — the Split PDF tool does that with the same engine: type the ranges you want to keep and each range comes back as its own file.
Frequently Asked Questions
Either list many ranges here, or flip the job around: use the Split PDF tool with the ranges you want to keep.
Yes, by position — the file simply has fewer pages. Page numbers printed inside the page content do not change.
Not inside the tool, but nothing happens to your original file — drop it again and start over with a different selection.
No. The work happens in your browser's memory. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool still works.
No — unlock it first with the Unlock PDF tool, then trim the unlocked copy.
It depends what the pages contained. Removing image-heavy pages shrinks the file a lot; removing text pages barely changes it. For overall size reduction use the Compress PDF tool.
