How to use Delete PDF pages
- 1
Open the PDF. Small previews of all its pages appear.
- 2
Click each page you want to remove; a red cross marks it. Click again to change your mind.
- 3
For many pages, type them in the box instead, such as 2, 5-7, 12-, or use "Even pages" or "Odd pages".
- 4
Press the Delete button, which shows how many pages will go, and download the shorter PDF.
What this tool does
Delete PDF pages takes pages out of a PDF: a blank page from a scanner, a duplicated slide, an old appendix or a page with details you don't want to share. Everything else in the file stays exactly as it was.
Features
- Click to mark pages on their previews, or type ranges such as
3, 8-10; both stay in step. - Odd or even pages in one click, for cleaning up double-sided scans.
- A live count of the pages you've marked, and a button that says how many will be deleted.
- Keeps the rest of the document: text stays searchable, and links and bookmarks on remaining pages work.
Limits
- One PDF at a time.
- At least one page has to stay.
- Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked first.
Where your file is processed
This tool works in your browser: your PDF is processed on your own device, so it isn't sent to our server for this tool. Some other tools on UtiloNest do use our server, and their pages say so.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a deleted page back?
Not from the new file, but your original PDF isn't changed. Open it again if you removed the wrong page.
How do I remove every second page?
Use "Even pages" to mark pages 2, 4, 6 and so on, or "Odd pages" for 1, 3, 5. This is handy for double-sided scans with blank backs.
Will the file get smaller?
Usually. Images and fonts that only the removed pages used are left out of the saved file.
Are links and bookmarks kept?
Yes, for the pages that remain. The PDF is edited in place rather than rebuilt, so its title and outline stay. Bookmarks that pointed at a removed page no longer lead anywhere.
Is there a page limit?
There's no fixed limit. Very large documents need more memory, so a phone may be slower than a computer.
