Examples

Dropping blank versos from a batch scan

Thumbnails make blank pages easy to spot, which matters when the page numbers printed on the document no longer match the PDF's own numbering.

Input

scan-batch.pdf (30 pages) with blank reverse sides at pages 4, 9, 17 and 22

Output

A 26-page PDF with those four pages removed and everything else untouched.

About the Delete PDF Pages

Delete PDF Pages is the fastest way to clean a document: every page appears as a thumbnail, you click the ones to remove (shift-click for runs of pages, invert for "keep only these"), and save. The remaining pages become a new PDF; your original is never modified.

Undo/redo means an over-eager selection is never a problem, and the tool refuses to delete every page — there's always a document left. Because the grid is the same organizer used by the reorder tool, you can also rotate or reorder surviving pages in the same pass instead of round-tripping through multiple tools.

Scans are the classic use case: feeder double-grabs, blank backs of single-sided originals, and cover sheets all disappear in seconds — locally, without the document ever leaving your machine.

How to Use Delete PDF Pages

  1. Drop a PDF into the tool.

  2. Click the thumbnails of pages to delete — shift-click for ranges, or invert to keep only a selection.

  3. Press Delete in the toolbar; undo is available if you change your mind.

  4. Click Save and download the trimmed PDF.

Limitations and Important Notes

Page deletion removes pages and their annotations; document-level bookmarks that pointed at removed pages may become inert in some viewers. Documents over 2,000 pages are rejected to protect browser memory.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I delete pages from a PDF without Acrobat?

Drop the PDF here, click the pages to remove on the thumbnail grid, press Delete, and save. The trimmed file downloads immediately — no Acrobat, no account, and the document never leaves your browser.

Can I recover a page I deleted by accident?

Yes, twice over: the toolbar has undo/redo (up to 50 steps), and the output is a new file, so your original PDF still has every page.

How do I keep only certain pages instead?

Select the pages you want to keep, then click Invert in the toolbar — the selection flips to everything else, and Delete removes them. Alternatively, the Extract PDF Pages tool builds a new PDF from a selection directly.
