How to use
- Drop a PDF onto the box or click to choose it.
- Choose the pages to delete by typing page numbers (for example
2, 5-7) or clicking thumbnails. The two stay in sync: clicking a thumbnail updates the text field, and editing the field updates the thumbnails. - Pages marked for deletion are dimmed with a red X, and the summary shows how many pages will be deleted and how many remain.
- Press Delete and save to download a PDF made of the remaining pages.
Shift-click selects (or clears) every page between the last one you clicked and the current one.

Example
To send a 25-page slide deck without the internal notes on page 3 and the appendix on pages 21–25, type 3, 21-. The summary shows 6 pages to delete and 19 pages left, and the saved file contains pages 1, 2, 4…20 in their original order.
Things to know
- Only the pages you keep are copied into the new file, so the deleted pages’ content is not inside the result. Bookmarks are not carried over.
- At least one page has to remain.
- A PDF you opened with a password is saved without the password.
- If picking the pages to keep is quicker, use Extract PDF Pages; to change the order as well, use Organize PDF Pages.
FAQ
Is my original file changed?
No. The original stays as it is and you download a new file named original-edited.pdf.
Can I keep the deleted pages as a separate file?
Enter the same range in Extract PDF Pages to save just those pages.
Is my file uploaded?
No. Thumbnails and saving both happen in your browser.
