Delete pages from a PDF — no upload, no signup
Blank pages from a duplex scanner, a cover sheet nobody needs, the one page of a statement that should not go to a third party — deleting pages is the mirror image of extracting them. Type the pages to remove using 1-based numbers and ranges (2,4-6 deletes pages 2, 4, 5, and 6) and the tool writes a new PDF with everything else intact and in order. The work is done by pdf-lib, a JavaScript library running entirely inside your browser tab: the document is never uploaded, no account is created, nothing is logged. When the reason you are removing a page is that it contains information someone should not see, the last thing you want is a copy of the full document sitting on an anonymous server.
How it works
- Select or drop the PDF you want to trim.
- Enter the pages to remove in the Pages field — for example 1,3-5 or just 7.
- Download the trimmed PDF; your original file stays untouched.
Frequently asked questions
How do I specify which pages to delete?
Use 1-based page numbers, separated by commas, with N-M for ranges. Typing 2 removes the second page; 1,3-5 removes pages 1, 3, 4, and 5. Everything not listed stays, in its original order.
I am deleting a page precisely because it is confidential. Is this safe?
That is the scenario this tool is built for. The full document is opened and rewritten by JavaScript on your own machine — it is never transmitted, so no server ever holds a copy of the sensitive page (or any page). You can verify with the browser’s network tab, or load the page and then go offline before dropping the file.
Is the deleted content truly gone from the new file?
The removed pages are not carried into the output document. One caveat that applies to any page-deletion tool: deleting a page is not the same as redaction. If sensitive text also appears on pages you kept, or in the document’s metadata, it is still there — review the result before sharing it.
Can I delete pages and then reorder or combine what is left?
Not in one step, but the tools chain nicely: trim the file here, then use the merge tool to combine the result with other documents (selection order controls page order). Every step runs locally, so chaining tools never means uploading anything.
