How to Remove Pages From a PDF

A blank scanned page, a duplicate, or a section that shouldn't be included in the final document are all reasons to remove specific pages from a PDF without affecting the rest of it.

When you need to delete pages, not split the document

Removing pages is different from splitting: splitting extracts a section into a new file, while removing pages deletes them from the document and keeps everything else together as one file. If you just want a cleaner version of the same document minus a page or two, removing is the right tool.

How to remove pages from a PDF

You can see every page before deciding what to remove.

  • Upload your PDF
  • View the pages as thumbnails
  • Select the pages you want to delete
  • Download the PDF with those pages removed

Common reasons to remove pages

Blank pages left over from scanning, an outdated cover sheet, duplicate pages from a merge, or a section of a report that shouldn't be shared externally are some of the most common reasons people trim pages from a PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Can I remove more than one page at a time?

Yes, you can select multiple pages anywhere in the document and remove them all in a single step.

Does removing pages affect the rest of the document?

No, the remaining pages stay exactly as they were — only the pages you select are removed.

How is this different from splitting a PDF?

Removing pages deletes them and keeps one file with everything else intact. Splitting extracts a section into a brand new, separate file.
