Maybe a scan has blank pages, an email printout has a trailing page of legal text, or you only need part of a long report. You can remove those pages without any special software.
Step by step
- Open the Delete PDF Pages tool and choose your file. It shows how many pages the PDF has and displays every page as a thumbnail.
- Click a page to mark it for deletion. A red cross appears on it and it fades. Click it again to bring it back.
- To pick pages in bulk, type them under Pages to delete, for example 2, 5-7, and click Select. You can also use Select all and Clear.
- The bar above the pages shows how many are selected. Click the button that says Delete N pages and download.
How page ranges work
- A single number, like 4, selects that page.
- A range, like 5-7, selects pages 5, 6 and 7.
- 8- means from page 8 to the end, and -3 means pages 1 to 3.
- Separate items with commas: 1, 4-6, 10-.
Good to know
- You can't delete every page. At least one has to remain.
- Your original file is not changed, and nothing is saved until you download. The new file is named after the original with -pages-removed added.
- The remaining pages keep their text, images and quality.
- Deleting a few light pages won't shrink a file much. If size is the problem, use the Compress tool.
- Large PDFs show thumbnails as you scroll, so they stay fast. Nothing is uploaded.
