Delete Pages removes one or more pages from a PDF and saves the remaining content as a new document, without uploading the file to any server. Enter the page numbers you want removed — single pages, ranges, or a mix — and the tool produces a clean output with those pages gone.
Deletion is lossless. pdf-lib copies the surviving page structures directly, preserving selectable text, embedded fonts, links, annotations, and images in the remaining pages.
To keep specific pages and discard everything else, use the Extract Pages tool instead.
How to use Delete Pages online
- Upload the PDF. Drop your PDF into the tool. Processing is local — the file is not uploaded.
- Enter the pages to delete. Type the page numbers to remove — for example "1, 3-5" to delete pages 1, 3, 4, and 5. Ranges and individual pages can be mixed.
- Delete and download. Click Delete pages to produce the updated PDF. Download it and confirm the unwanted pages are gone.
When to use it
- Remove a cover page or confidentiality notice before sharing a document internally.
- Delete blank or filler pages from a scanned PDF.
- Remove duplicate pages that appeared when combining multiple PDFs.
- Strip a signature page from a template before re-using it.
Known limitations
- You cannot delete all pages — at least one page must remain in the output.
- Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first.
- Cross-references to deleted page numbers in the remaining text become stale.
Frequently asked questions

Is the output lossless?
Yes. Remaining pages are copied without re-encoding, so text, fonts, links, and images are fully preserved.
What is the difference between Delete Pages and Extract Pages?
