How to Delete or Remove Pages From a PDF

Blank scanner pages, outdated cover sheets, or an extra page you didn't mean to include — deleting pages from a PDF is a quick fix once you know where to look.

Common reasons to delete PDF pages

Scanners frequently leave blank pages between documents. Reports sometimes include a cover page you no longer need. Whatever the reason, removing pages should be quick and shouldn't require re-creating the whole document.

Step-by-step walkthrough

Open the Delete PDF Pages tool and upload your file. Every page appears as a thumbnail so you can see exactly what you're removing before you confirm anything.

Select the pages you want to delete by tapping or clicking their thumbnails. A counter shows how many pages will remain in the final document.

Confirm your selection and download the updated file. Your original file on your device is left exactly as it was.

Deleting pages on mobile

On a phone, the page grid adjusts to a comfortable tap size, so selecting pages to remove works the same way as on desktop — just with your finger instead of a cursor.

Avoiding accidental deletions

Nothing is removed until you confirm your selection, so it's safe to tap through and review before finalizing. If you're not sure, download the result and check it before deleting your original file.

Troubleshooting

If the tool won't let you proceed, check that you haven't selected every page — at least one page has to remain in the output file by design.
