Why Delete PDF Pages?
Remove blank pages, Get rid of empty or unwanted pages that bloat your document.
Extract content, Keep only the pages you need and discard the rest.
Preview before deleting, See page thumbnails to confidently select the right pages.
Remove pages without re-export
Select pages or ranges to drop; we rebuild a new PDF without those entries. Text, vectors, and most images survive untouched. Faster than returning to source layout to delete a blank.
Common uses
Drop blanks from scans, remove a rejected page, or strip a cover the portal doesn't want. Pair with Rotate to fix kept pages in one export.
Inspect thumbnails first
Zoom to 150% to catch duplicates or white pages that look empty at small size. Very large files: delete in two passes if sluggish.

What is this tool?
Delete PDF removes pages you do not need. You have a PDF with 20 pages but pages 7-9 are blank or private. You need this to share a shorter, clean version. Our tool lets you click thumbnails to mark delete and then writes a new PDF without those pages locally.
How it works
We use pdf-lib, pdfjs-dist, mammoth, and SheetJS locally. Files are read via FileReader into memory, parsed, and a new file is written. For PDFs we keep or reorder page dictionaries, for Word/Excel we map styles to PDF. All happens in your browser no upload with thumbnail previews where helpful. Very large files or 200+ pages may hit phone memory, so split first if needed.
How to use 4 steps
