Remove Pages from PDF
Delete pages from a PDF using ranges like 1,3,5-8
About this tool
Remove Pages from PDF deletes the page numbers you specify and keeps the rest in original order. Inputs like 1,3,5-8 combine individual pages and consecutive spans in a single operation. The tool validates ranges against actual page count and reports any out-of-range values before processing. Common scenarios include trimming long reports for sharing, removing draft cover pages, redacting sensitive sections from contracts, and cleaning up scanned documents with blank or duplicate pages. All processing happens locally in your browser using pdf-lib; the file never leaves your device. Maximum file size is 50 MB.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I specify pages to remove?
Use 1,3,5-8 format. Comma-separated values are individual pages or ranges (start-end). 1,3,5-8 removes pages 1, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
What happens if I specify an invalid page number?
The tool reports the invalid range before processing and aborts the run, so no partial output is produced.

Yes. Remaining pages keep their original order. Only the specified pages are removed.
Is my PDF uploaded to any server?
No. Everything is processed locally in your browser using pdf-lib. The file never leaves your device.
What is the file size limit?
50 MB. The limit is set client-side and depends on browser memory.
