How to delete pages from a PDF

Remove blank scans, duplicates, or pages that should not be shared.

Choose your mode

• Delete specific pages — type pages like 2, 5-7 to remove just those.
• Delete everything before a page — keeps the document from page N to the end.
• Delete everything after a page — keeps pages 1 through N and drops the rest.

Steps

1. Open the Delete tab and add one PDF.
2. Pick a mode and enter the page numbers. The button shows how many pages will remain.
3. Click Delete pages. A new, trimmed PDF downloads automatically.

Good to know

• At least one page must remain — you cannot delete every page.
• Your original file is never changed, so a mistake just means trying again.
• Removing sensitive pages before sharing is safer than covering text with black boxes — see the article below for why.
