How do I delete pages from a PDF without uploading it?

This tool runs entirely inside your web browser using the pdf-lib library. When you choose a file it is read into memory locally, the page thumbnails are rendered on your device, and the trimmed PDF is rebuilt and saved straight from the browser. No file, page or byte is ever sent to a server, which makes it safe for contracts, bank statements, medical records and other sensitive documents.

Can I remove several pages at once?

Yes. You can click as many thumbnails as you like, or type a range such as 1-3, 5, 8-10 and press Apply to mark them all in one go. Mark all, Clear marks and Invert buttons let you flip the whole selection quickly. Every marked page is shown dimmed with a red REMOVE badge so you can confirm before exporting.

What is the difference between Remove mode and Keep mode?

In Remove mode the pages you mark are the ones deleted from the output. In Keep mode the logic flips: only the marked pages survive and everything else is dropped. Keep mode is handy when you want to pull out just a handful of pages from a long document instead of marking the dozens you do not want.

Will deleting pages change the quality of the remaining pages?

No. The kept pages are copied byte-for-byte into a new PDF, so text stays selectable, vector graphics stay sharp and image resolution is unchanged. The tool never rasterises or recompresses your content — it simply omits the pages you removed and re-saves the rest.

Is there a limit on file size or page count?

The tool accepts PDFs up to 250 MB. Very large or image-heavy documents take a little longer to render thumbnails because each page is drawn on your device, but the page count itself is not capped. If a file is bigger than 250 MB, split it first or compress it before trimming.

Why can a PDF fail to open here?

The most common reason is that the PDF is password-protected or encrypted; pages cannot be read or removed until it is unlocked. Corrupt or partially downloaded files can also fail. If you see an error, re-download the original file or remove the password in your PDF reader, then try again.

Does deleting pages also remove their bookmarks and links?

Internal links and bookmarks that pointed to a deleted page will no longer resolve, since the target page no longer exists. Links and bookmarks aimed at pages you keep continue to work. If precise bookmark editing matters, review the outline in a full PDF editor after trimming.

Delete Pages from a PDF

A fast, private way to delete pages from a PDF entirely inside your browser. Load a document, click the pages you no longer want, and download a clean, trimmed PDF — no uploads, no watermarks, no account. It is built for the everyday job of stripping out blank scanner pages, cover sheets, duplicate copies, fax headers, or the half of a long report you do not need to send.

How it works

When you choose a file, the tool reads it locally and renders a thumbnail of every page so you can see exactly what you are working with. Click any thumbnail to mark it for removal — it dims and gets a red REMOVE badge. Prefer typing? Enter a range such as 1-3, 5, 8-10 and press Apply; the parser understands single pages, ranges, open-ended ranges like 5- (page 5 to the end), and comma- or space-separated lists, quietly ignoring anything out of bounds.

Two modes cover both common needs. Remove the marked pages deletes your selection and keeps the rest. Keep only the marked pages flips the logic so just the pages you marked survive — perfect for pulling a few pages out of a big file. A live counter always shows how many pages will remain, and Mark all, Clear marks and Invert make bulk selection quick. When you download, the kept pages are copied byte-for-byte into a brand-new PDF using pdf-lib, so text stays selectable and images keep their original resolution.

Because everything happens on your device, this is safe for sensitive material — invoices, contracts, statements, medical forms. The file never leaves your computer, and closing the tab wipes it from memory.

Example

Say you scanned a 12-page agreement but pages 4 and 5 are blank separator sheets and the last page is just a fax confirmation. Type 4-5, 12 into the range box, press Apply, and those three pages light up as REMOVE. The counter shows 9 pages will remain. Click Download trimmed PDF and you get agreement-trimmed.pdf — a tidy 9-page document with text intact and nothing uploaded anywhere.

Need the opposite? Switch to Keep only the marked pages, type 1, 6-8, and the tool exports just those four pages, dropping everything else in one step.

Every page is processed locally in your browser — your PDF is never uploaded or stored.
