Removing Pages From a PDF, Locally and Irreversibly

Blank backsides from duplex scanning, fax cover sheets, the page with the wrong client’s name - some pages simply shouldn’t stay in the file. This tool rebuilds the PDF without them, on your machine.

How to use it

  1. Open Delete Pages and choose the PDF.
  2. List the pages to remove - 1, 3-4 removes page one, three and four.
  3. Process and download the shortened document.

Try it now: open the Delete Pages tool - no account, no upload, free.

What happens under the hood

The tool copies every page except the listed ones into a new document. Because the discarded pages are simply never copied, they are not “hidden” or recoverable from the output file - they are absent from it.

Tips for better results

  • Since everything runs locally, the removed pages were never seen by anyone - worth remembering when the deleted page is exactly the sensitive one.
  • Keep your original: the output is a new file, so you can always re-do the deletion differently.

Privacy, in one sentence

Your file is read into your browser's memory, processed there by JavaScript and WebAssembly, and handed back to you as a download - no server ever sees a byte of it. Close the tab and nothing remains.
