Delete Pages From a PDF
Free & private · no signup · no watermarks · files deleted in 24 hours
PDFToolsHQ Remove Pages deletes chosen pages from a PDF free and reassembles the rest in order. Page numbers printed on the page are ink and will not renumber themselves.
PDFToolsHQ Remove Pages deletes the pages you tap from a PDF and reassembles the rest in order, free and without a signup. Upload the document and every page appears as a thumbnail. Tap the ones you want gone — they mark as selected and a running count tells you how many you have picked — then remove them in a single pass. Select All and Clear are there for the cases where it is quicker to start from everything, or to start again. The remaining pages are reassembled into a clean, properly ordered PDF in seconds.
This is ideal for stripping blank pages from scanned documents, removing outdated appendices from reports, deleting confidential pages before distribution, or cleaning up auto-generated PDFs that include unwanted cover sheets. The tool works entirely online — no PDF editor software needed — and preserves all formatting, images, and links in the pages that remain.
Key features: Remove by page number, list, or range • Instant reassembly of remaining pages • Preserves all formatting • Works on any PDF up to 100MB • No watermarks • Automatic file deletion after 24 hours

Frequently Asked Questions About the Remove Pages Tool
Everything you need to know about our Remove Pages tool
Yes, completely free. Our Remove Pages tool has no hidden costs, no watermarks, and no registration requirement. You can process as many files as you need, each up to 100MB, at no charge. We believe professional PDF tools should be accessible to everyone — students, freelancers, and businesses alike.
Your files are fully protected. All uploads and downloads use 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption during transfer. Processing happens on our isolated Hetzner server infrastructure in Germany — your file is never shared, analysed for commercial purposes, or stored longer than necessary. Every uploaded and processed file is automatically and permanently deleted within 24 hours of processing.
Supported file types: This tool accepts PDF files up to 100MB each. One PDF at a time, and pages are chosen by tapping thumbnails after the upload rather than typed in as numbers.
Portable Document Format
Yes, and the page grid is the part that benefits from a bigger screen. Pages are chosen by tapping thumbnails rather than typing numbers, and on a phone those thumbnails are small enough that a long document is slow to work through. Turning the handset to landscape roughly doubles the number of pages visible at once.
Yes — tap every page you want gone before you run the tool. The pages do not need to be next to each other: tap page 2, then 5, then 8, then 11, and all four go in one operation. Each tap toggles, so a page selected by mistake is deselected by tapping it again, and the count above the grid tells you how many are currently marked. Doing it in one pass matters, because after a removal the remaining pages renumber — which is exactly how people delete the wrong page when they run the tool several times in a row. The pages you keep are reassembled in their original order.
A stack that went through a document feeder with separator sheets between each contract, so the output has a blank or near-blank page every few leaves. Note the page numbers as you scroll, enter them as a single list — 5,11,17,23 — and one pass takes them all out. Mixing individual pages and ranges in the same entry is fine, so 1,4-7,12 is a valid instruction that removes a cover, a block of four, and one page further in.
Those numbers are ink. They were drawn onto the page when the document was produced, so they are part of the picture and nothing that deletes pages can renumber them — remove page 5 and the sheet that follows still has a printed 6 on it. The fix is to number the document again after removal: run the result through Add Page Numbers and place the new sequence clear of the old one, or crop the old footer off first if the two would collide.
Then this is the wrong operation, because what you name here is discarded. If both halves matter, Split PDF divides the document and returns every part. If you only want the small selection and not the remainder, Extract Pages is the direct route. And if the material you want gone is a paragraph or a figure rather than a whole page, no page-level tool will help — that is a job for Redact PDF.
They lose their target. The remaining pages are re-sequenced into a continuous document, but a bookmark whose destination no longer exists cannot be silently repointed — guessing which surviving page the author meant would be worse than leaving it broken. Expect a contents list or a sidebar of bookmarks to carry stale entries after a removal, and prune them if the document is going to be circulated. Everything pointing at pages you kept continues to work normally.

Tips for Getting the Best Results from Remove Pages
Practical things worth knowing before you process your file — the details that most often catch people out with this particular tool.
Trust the thumbnail, not the printed folio
The grid is in physical page order. A document with an unnumbered cover means the page printed "1" is often the second thumbnail — look at the picture rather than counting from the printed number.
One pass, not several
Mark every page you want gone before pressing Remove, rather than running the tool repeatedly. After each run the remaining pages renumber, which is how people delete the wrong page on the second attempt.
Keep the original
Removal is applied to a new file, but there is no undo once you have replaced your copy. Keep the source until you have checked the output.
