How to Delete Pages from a PDF
Updated July 13, 2026
Scanned documents pick up blank pages, PDFs come with cover sheets you don’t need, downloads include terms and conditions nobody reads — deleting the pages you don’t want is the fastest fix.
Steps
- Open Delete Pages and drop your PDF.
- Click the pages you want to remove — each one is marked with an ✕ on the thumbnail grid.
- Click Delete, then download the trimmed PDF.
Why the visual grid matters
Because you’re clicking thumbnails rather than typing page numbers, it’s hard to accidentally remove the wrong page — you can see exactly what you’re deleting before you commit. Click a marked page again to change your mind and keep it. Nothing about your original file changes until you download; the trimmed version is generated fresh.
When to use a different tool
- Want to keep a specific set of pages instead of removing a few? Extract Pages does the inverse — you specify what to keep, not what to drop.
- Need to also reorder or rotate pages, not just delete them? Organize PDF gives you a full visual grid with drag-to-reorder and rotate in the same view.
- Splitting one document into several separate files? Split PDF breaks a document apart by page range instead of trimming it down to one file.
