How to Delete PDF Pages Step by Step
Drop your PDF into the tool. Every page appears as a preview with its page number.
Press the × button under each page you want to remove. If you remove the wrong page by mistake, click Undo all changes to bring back every deleted page.
Press Save PDF to get your new document. The tool saves a new copy with no watermark and no sign-up, leaving your original file unchanged.
How We Tested the Tool
We tested the free tier on 2026-11-07 using Chromium on desktop across 14 test cases.
All 14 tests passed. Our test run included standard PDFs, long file names, non-Latin filenames, mixed page dimensions, scanned image-only pages, and documents containing Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Thai, and Russian text.
How the Tool Handles Invalid and Locked Files
The tool smoothly handled files with emoji, extra spaces, and different page sizes. Scanned files and multilingual documents also produced new PDFs without issues.
When we tested damaged files—such as an empty 0-byte file, a 1-byte file, a truncated file, or a renamed JPEG—the tool blocked them with: "This file is not a valid PDF or it is damaged. Try re-saving it from the app that created it."
When we loaded a password-protected PDF, it showed: "This PDF is locked. Unlock it in your PDF reader, save an unlocked copy, then add that copy."
Free Tier Limits and When to Use an Alternative
The free version is limited to one PDF of up to 100 MB at a time. Trying to add two files triggers: "The free version works on one PDF at a time. Save this one, press Clear, then add the next." Adding a file that exceeds the size limit produces: "pdf_mb_101.pdf was not added: the free version can hold 100 MB."
If you only need a few pages from a massive document, deleting every other page takes too long. When you want 3 pages out of 200, use the free extract PDF pages tool instead to type the page numbers you want to keep.
We re-run these tests when the tool changes. Results describe this tool on the date shown.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
No. Previews are drawn and the new PDF is saved inside your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to our servers, so it is safe for statements and contracts.
Q. Do the remaining pages lose quality?
No. The pages you keep are copied as they are. Text stays sharp and searchable, and pictures are not compressed again.
Q. What is the file size limit for the free tool?
The free tool works on one PDF of up to 100 MB at a time.
