Step by step
Open Remove Pages and add your PDF. Every page appears as a thumbnail.
Click the pages you want to delete to mark them, then download — the result keeps all the unmarked pages in their original order.
Remove, split, or organize?
Remove Pages is for dropping a handful of pages from an otherwise-fine document. Split is better when you want to extract pages into their own file or partition a document into several.
If you also need to reorder or rotate pages while deleting some, use Organize PDF, which does all three in one view.
Check before you download
Because the thumbnails show every page, scan through and confirm you've marked the right ones — deletion applies to exactly the pages highlighted.
Private by design
The PDF is parsed and rewritten in your browser, so even a confidential document never leaves your device.

Frequently asked
- Can I remove several pages at once?
- Yes — mark as many pages as you like and they're all removed in a single download.
- What's the difference between removing pages and splitting?
- Removing pages drops the ones you select and keeps the rest as one file. Splitting extracts pages into a separate file or divides the document into multiple files.
- Are the deleted pages recoverable from the output?
- No. The downloaded PDF is rebuilt without them, so they aren't hidden inside the file.
- Is the file uploaded?
- No. Pages are removed in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
