Remove unwanted pages or pull out just the pages you need — enter page numbers like 1,3,5-8. All in your browser, nothing uploaded. Free.
🔒 Runs entirely in your browser — your PDF is never uploaded.
Two sides of the same coin. Extract keeps only the pages you list — perfect for pulling one section out of a long report, or splitting a scanned bundle into separate documents. Delete removes the pages you list and keeps the rest — ideal for dropping a blank page, a cover sheet, or confidential pages before sharing. The page-range syntax (1,3,5-8) mixes single pages and spans freely, and the tool safely ignores anything outside the document's real page count.
This completes your PDF toolkit alongside the PDF Merger, PDF Splitter, and PDF Rotator. Add Page Numbers once your document is assembled.
Both tools work with individual PDF pages, so it's worth being clear about the difference. This tool is built for two specific jobs: removing a handful of unwanted pages while keeping everything else intact (Delete), or pulling out a specific set of pages as one combined file (Extract). PDF Splitter does something different — it can explode an entire document into a separate one-page PDF for every single page, which is the tool to reach for when you need each page as its own file rather than one trimmed-down document.
In short: removing a cover page, a blank scan, or a couple of confidential pages from an otherwise-complete document is what Delete mode is for. Pulling one section — say pages 4 through 9 of a report — into a single new file is Extract mode. Turning a 20-page scan into 20 separate files is PDF Splitter's job.

Is my PDF uploaded?
No — pages are rebuilt inside your browser, so the file stays on your device. Safe for confidential documents.
How do I write the page range?
Comma-separate single pages and use a hyphen for spans: "1,3,5-8" means pages 1, 3, and 5 through 8. Reversed ranges like "8-5" are handled too.
What's the difference between Extract and Delete?
Extract keeps only the pages you list; Delete removes them and keeps everything else. Same input box, opposite result.
Can I split a PDF into single pages?
To pull one page, extract just that number. For splitting every page into its own file, our PDF Splitter is purpose-built for that.
Does it work on encrypted PDFs?
No — remove the password in your PDF viewer first, then use the tool.
What's the difference between this and PDF Splitter?
This tool always produces one output file — either the pages you kept or the document minus the pages you removed. PDF Splitter can explode a document into a separate file for every single page instead. Use this tool for trimming a document; use Splitter for breaking one PDF into many.
Can I remove just one page from a PDF?
Yes — type that single page number into the pages box and click "Delete these pages." Every other page stays exactly as it was.
Does the output stay as one file, or does it split into several?
Always one file. If you need a PDF split into separate files per page, use the PDF Splitter tool instead.
