Delete pages from a PDF
A blank scan page, a fax cover sheet, the terms you sent last time: tap each page that should go, and download a new PDF made from the pages you keep.

Choose the PDF
Then tap each page you want gone. Everything else stays as it was.
Your file never leaves your device. The new PDF is built right here in your browser from the pages you keep. Nothing is uploaded. For something sensitive on a page you keep, use Redact.

How to delete pages
- 1
Open the PDF
Choose the file, and every page appears as a thumbnail.
- 2
Mark the pages
Tap a page to mark it for deletion; tap it again to keep it. In a long file, type pages like 2, 5-7 and tap Mark. Clear marks starts over.

Download
Tap the download button, which counts the pages going. The new PDF has every page you didn't mark, in the same order. A PDF needs at least one page, so you can't delete them all.
What happens to the pages you delete
The tool doesn't hide pages or cover them. It builds a brand-new PDF and copies only the pages you keep into it. Whatever belonged only to the deleted pages, such as their text, pictures, form fields and comments, stays behind. Links and bookmarks that pointed at a deleted page are dropped; the ones pointing at pages you kept still work.
If pages share content in a way that can't be separated safely, the tool says so and saves nothing, rather than leave part of a deleted page in the file.
One thing can remain
Pages often share one embedded font. When they do, that font can still hold the shapes of letters that appeared only on a deleted page. Not the words, and not their order, but a trace that those letters were used. If a deleted page held something sensitive, use Redact, which rebuilds every page from pictures so nothing from the original file comes along.
Good to know
- Kept pages stay exactly as they were. Nothing is redrawn, so text stays selectable and form fields still fill.
- The order doesn't change. To move pages around as well, use Reorder PDF pages.
- Want the unwanted pages as their own file? Split PDF saves the pages you choose as a separate PDF.
- Locked PDFs aren't opened. Remove the password in the app that set it, then try again.
Before you send it for signature
Trim a document before it goes out, so signers aren't asked to read pages that don't apply to them. When it's ready, send it for signature or sign it yourself.
Questions? Answers.
Can deleted pages be recovered from the new file?
No. They aren't in it. Your original PDF is untouched, so keep it if you might need those pages again.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The thumbnails are drawn and the new file is built by your browser, on your device.
Will form fields still work?
Yes, on the pages you keep. Fields that sat only on deleted pages are removed with them.
How do I remove a blank page from a scan?
Open the scan, tap the blank page so it shows the red delete mark, and download. Do the same for every blank page in one go.
