Delete PDF Pages
Remove unwanted pages from a PDF — entirely in your browser. Type which page numbers to delete (e.g. “3, 5, 7-9”), preview the result, then download a clean copy. Perfect for stripping cover sheets, blank pages or sensitive sections without uploading anything.
How to use
- 1
Upload a PDF
Drag and drop a PDF onto the dropzone. The page count is read in the background and shown as a numbered grid so you can plan your deletions.
- 2
Enter pages to delete
Type the page numbers you want to remove, like “3, 5, 7-9”. The grid updates live — pages marked with strikethrough will be deleted.
- 3
Delete and download
Click Delete selected pages — pdf-lib removes those pages from the in-memory document, starting from the highest index to keep the remaining indices valid. Download the trimmed result; your file never leaves your device.
Common use cases
- Strip a sensitive cover sheet or signature page before sharing a contract.
- Remove blank trailing pages left by a scan-to-PDF workflow.
- Cut a 50-page report down to just the executive summary for an email attachment.
- Delete mis-scanned pages from a multi-page document and re-export a clean copy.
Limitations
- You can't delete every page — the result would be empty. At least one page must remain.
- Encrypted or password-protected PDFs cannot be edited — remove the password first.
- Bookmarks, named destinations and internal links that pointed to deleted pages will break; pdf-lib does not rewrite them automatically.
- Very large PDFs (>100 MB) may take several seconds to process and use significant memory.
