Practical guide
What to know before deleting pages
Selected pages are removed from the document’s page list and the result is saved as a separate PDF. Remaining pages keep their order, and at least one page must remain. Entering 2, 2, 5 excludes page 2 only once.
This is page removal, not secure erasure or redaction. Unused internal data and document properties may remain, so the tool does not guarantee a smaller file or unrecoverable deletion. Outlines and printed page references are not automatically rewritten.

📝How to Use
- Drag and drop the single PDF file from which you want to delete pages, or click to select.
- Enter the unwanted page index numbers or ranges separated by commas. (e.g. 2, 4, 7-9)
- Verify that your specified page numbers fall within the total page count of the document.
- Click the [Delete PDF Pages] button.
- The edited PDF with the specified pages removed will download automatically as deleted-pages.pdf.
⚠️Caveats
- You cannot delete all pages in the PDF. At least 1 page must remain in the output document.
- Before starting, it is highly recommended to keep a secure backup copy of the original PDF document.
- This process creates a new file without changing the original.
- Deleting a page is not redaction of text on remaining pages. Review visible content, annotations, metadata and attachments before sharing confidential documents.
❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q.Will internal table of contents or bookmarks automatically update after page deletion?
This tool does not repair document navigation after deleting pages. Bookmarks and links may be lost or point to removed pages. Check the output if navigation matters.
Q.Why did the PDF file size not decrease much after deleting several pages?
PDFs contain shared resources like font files, color profiles, and embedded image catalogs. If these assets are still referenced by the remaining pages, the overall file size may only decrease slightly.
Q.Can I delete pages from protected or encrypted PDF documents?
This tool does not support encrypted PDFs. Use an unprotected copy that you are authorized to edit.
