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Blank pages left over from scanning, an outdated cover sheet, duplicate pages from a merge, or a section of a report that shouldn't be shared externally are some of the most common reasons people trim pages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