Delete pages from a PDF
Delete the pages you do not want and keep the rest. Pick them from thumbnails so you can see what you are removing, and download a document that is otherwise untouched — same text, same images, same quality, with the bookmarks remapped to follow the pages that remain.

How to Remove Pages from PDF
- Add your PDF. Drop the file in. Every page is rendered as a thumbnail so you can see what is there.
- Select the pages to delete. Click the pages you want gone. The count updates as you go.
- Apply. The remaining pages are copied into a new document at the object level — nothing is re-rendered.
- Download. Save the trimmed PDF. Everything that survived is byte-identical to how it started.
Deleting pages does not degrade the rest
Pages that stay are copied as objects, not rendered and re-saved. A page with crisp vector text and a page carrying a 300 DPI scan both come through exactly as they were — no recompression, no quality step down, no text turning into a picture of text.
That sounds obvious and frequently is not true elsewhere. A tool that rebuilds the document by rendering every page will hand you something that looks similar, is much larger, and can no longer be searched.
What happens to bookmarks
A PDF outline points at specific pages. Delete pages without touching it and every entry after the deletion points somewhere wrong — usually a page or two off, which is worse than being broken outright because nobody notices immediately.
The outline is remapped as pages are removed. Entries pointing at surviving pages follow them; entries pointing at deleted pages are dropped rather than left aimed at whatever moved into that slot.
Removing, extracting, or splitting
Three related jobs worth telling apart. Removing pages keeps the document and takes pages out of it — right when you want the whole thing minus a few pages. Extracting pages does the reverse, pulling a selection into a new document and leaving the original alone. Splitting cuts one document into several.
If you are deleting far more than you keep, extracting is usually the faster way to say the same thing.
Frequently asked questions
Is my file uploaded to delete pages?
No. The document is opened and rewritten inside your browser, and nothing is transmitted at any point.
Does removing pages reduce quality?
No. Surviving pages are copied at the object level rather than re-rendered, so there is no recompression of any kind.
Do bookmarks still work afterwards?
Yes. The outline is remapped so entries follow the pages that remain. Entries pointing at deleted pages are dropped rather than left pointing at the wrong content.
Can I get the deleted pages back?
Not from the downloaded file — keep your original. If you want the removed pages as their own document, use Extract Pages on the original instead.
Is there a page limit?
No. Large documents take a little longer to render thumbnails, but there is no cap on size or page count.
What happens to form fields and annotations?
They travel with their pages. Fields and comments on surviving pages are kept; those on deleted pages go with them.
Can I reorder pages at the same time?
Yes — this is the same editor as Organize Pages, so you can rearrange what remains before downloading.
