How do I delete pages from a PDF?
Choose the PDF and wait for the page previews to appear. Click each page you want to remove, or type a range such as 2, 5-6 and press the select button. Then press Delete pages and download the shorter PDF. No account or software installation is needed for any of it.
Can I undo a deletion?
Your original file is never changed, so there's nothing to undo in it. If you removed the wrong pages, press Start over and choose the same file again, then pick the right pages. The new PDF is only created when you press Delete pages and download it.
Can I delete every page?
No. A PDF needs at least one page, so at least one page must stay. If you actually want to keep only a few pages, Extract PDF pages is quicker: you pick the pages to keep rather than the many pages to remove, and get the same result.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Everything runs on your device, so the file is never uploaded to our servers or stored anywhere. That makes it safe for statements, contracts and medical documents. Once the page has loaded, deleting pages even works when your internet connection drops. Nothing is stored after you close the page.
Will the remaining pages lose quality?
No. The pages you keep are copied as they are, with the same text, images and fonts. Selectable text stays selectable and links on the pages still work. The new file is simply shorter, and usually a little smaller in size as well. Printed copies look identical too.
How do I remove blank pages from a scan?
Open the scanned PDF and look through the previews for empty pages, which scanners often add between sheets. Click each blank page to mark it, then delete them all at once. The previews make blank pages easy to spot, even in long documents. Check the result before sending it.
Does deleting pages remove private information safely?
Deleting a whole page removes it from the new file completely. That's different from cropping or covering parts of a page, which can leave hidden content inside the file. If you need to remove part of a page, a proper redaction tool is the right choice.
Can I delete pages on a phone?
Yes, in modern mobile browsers such as Chrome and Safari. Tap pages in the preview to mark them, or type a range, then delete and download. For long PDFs with many scanned pages, a computer is faster because previews take memory to draw. No app is needed on either.
Why are the previews taking a while?
Previews are drawn on your device, and large or image-heavy PDFs take longer, particularly on phones. Let them finish, or type the page numbers instead of clicking. Closing other browser tabs gives the tool more memory to work with. The deletion itself takes only a moment once previews are ready.
Can I delete pages from a password-protected PDF?
Not directly, because encrypted PDFs can't be read by the tool. Open the file with its password in a PDF viewer, save or print an unlocked copy, then delete pages from that copy. Remember to delete the unlocked copy afterwards if it holds sensitive information.
What's the difference between delete and organise?
Delete PDF pages only removes pages. Organise PDF lets you remove, reorder and rotate pages together, with drag and drop. If you only need to drop a few pages, delete is simpler. If the order or orientation is also wrong, use Organise PDF instead. Both are free.
Is there a page or size limit?
There's no fixed limit, because nothing is uploaded. Your device's memory sets the practical limit, so very long scanned PDFs can be slow on a phone. Most everyday documents, such as statements or reports, are processed in a few seconds. Close other tabs if it slows down.
Will links and bookmarks still work?
Links on the pages you keep still work. Document-level bookmarks may point to pages that no longer exist, so they aren't relied on in the new file. For everyday documents such as statements and forms, this makes no difference at all. Check long reports after saving.
Can I delete pages and then compress the PDF?
Yes. Delete the pages first, then run the shorter file through Compress PDF if it's still too large for an email or an upload portal. Both tools run in your browser, so the document never leaves your device during either step. Check the text is still readable after compressing.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Deleting pages is free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. It's part of a set of free PDF tools from Marketiism that all run in your browser, including merge, split, compress, rotate and convert, so you can finish the whole job in one place.
