How to remove pages from a PDF

“Deleting” a page from a PDF is really the flip side of extracting pages: instead of pulling out the pages you want, you select and keep everything except the ones you don't.

How this works in practice

A PDF splitting tool that lets you select specific pages effectively lets you delete pages too — you just select every page except the ones you want gone, and save that selection as your new file.

Steps to remove pages

  1. Open the Split PDF tool.
  2. Drop in your PDF and let the page thumbnails load.
  3. Select every page you want to keep (i.e., everything except the ones you're removing).
  4. Download — the result is a new PDF with the unwanted pages left out.

For just one or two unwanted pages

If you're only removing a page or two from a long document, it's often faster to select everything except those specific pages rather than trying to individually deselect them one by one — think in terms of "what should stay," not "what should go."

Frequently asked questions

Does this actually delete the page, or just hide it?+

It creates a new PDF that never includes the removed page's content at all — it's a genuine removal, not a hidden or collapsed page.

Can I remove pages from the middle of a document, not just the start or end?+

Yes, you can keep any combination of pages regardless of their position in the original file.
