Delete PDF pages

What it does

Delete PDF pages takes the pages you name out of a PDF and gives you a new file with the rest. Your original file isn’t changed.

• Name the pages: type them in Pages to delete, such as 2 or 1-3, 8-.
• The rest stay in order, each page as it was. The result says how many pages are left, such as “12 pages → 9 pages · 3 deleted”.

How to use it

1. Drop your PDF on the box, paste it, or select Choose a file. Select “Try a sample” to try it on a 6-page booklet.
2. Type the pages to take out in Pages to delete. The file is ready a moment after you type.
3. Select Download PDF to save it. It’s named after your file, such as report-pages-deleted.pdf.
4. Press Ctrl+Enter (⌘+Enter on a Mac) to run it again, or Esc to stop a run that’s still working.

Writing page numbers

• Separate them with commas: 1-3, 5, 8-.
• 5 is one page, 1-3 is pages 1 to 3, and 8- runs from page 8 to the last page.
• Put the lower page first: 4-9, not 9-4.
• A page named more than once is deleted once.

Good to know

• The pages you keep stay in their order, with their text, pictures, size and rotation as they were.
• If you name every page, nothing is made: a PDF needs at least one page, so leave one or more out.
• Password-protected PDFs, and PDFs locked with restrictions, are refused. Save a copy without the protection first.
• Fillable form fields don’t stay fillable, and the new file has no title or author from the original.

Limits

You can delete pages from one PDF at a time, up to 100 MB and 1,000 pages. Adding another PDF replaces the one there.

Privacy

Your PDF stays on your device: the tool runs in your browser and doesn’t upload it. The new file starts without the original’s document details, such as its title, author and the app that made it. When the site shows ads, Google can use cookies for them: in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Google asks for your consent first, and elsewhere Google’s own policies apply. The Privacy page explains how.
