How to Remove Pages From a PDF

A blank scanned page, an outdated cover sheet, or a section that no longer applies — sometimes the fix for a PDF isn't reorganizing it, it's just deleting a few pages outright.

Common reasons to remove pages

• Blank pages left over from double-sided scanning of a single-sided document.
• Outdated cover pages or disclaimers that no longer apply to the current version.
• Duplicate pages accidentally included during scanning.
• Sections no longer relevant to the current use of the document.

Step-by-step: removing pages

1. Open Remove Pages and upload your PDF.
2. Enter the page numbers you want removed, separated by commas — for example, 2,4,6.
3. Download your edited PDF with those pages deleted and everything else intact.

Double-check your page numbers first

Since removal is based on the page numbers within the current document, open the PDF first and confirm exactly which pages you want gone before entering the list — page numbers shift once earlier pages are removed, so if you're removing several pages, base the list on the original document's numbering, not a partially-edited version.

Removing vs. extracting vs. reorganizing

These three tools solve related but different problems:

• Remove Pages — delete specific pages, keep everything else.
• Extract Pages — keep specific pages, discard everything else (the inverse operation).
• Organize PDF — change the order of pages without deleting any.

Picking the right one saves you from working backwards through the wrong tool.

After removing pages

If page numbers are printed on the document itself, you may want to run Add Page Numbers afterward to reflect the new, shorter page count.

Deleting the pages you don't need takes one comma-separated list — no need to rebuild the document from the pages you want to keep.
